Read "Prof: IT Industry at War with the Middle Class" that empty
posted. It's all about cheap recruits not qualifications. There are
plenty of unemployed qualified STEM folks in the US. Problem? Young
managers who fear if they hire someone older they'll lose their job to
the more experienced worker.

Yes, it's costing students a lot of money to get college degrees if
they choose to attend the so-called first tier universities, without
grants or scholarships. It's probably cheaper to attend the state
universities here in California or their equivalence in the other states.
Also, I believe many computer companies, like Microsoft, hire many
foreigners from India and elsewhere to fill their engineering staff.
This trend will probably continue until there are enough American
graduates who are qualified and willing to take the jobs available.

The Russian graduates may not have had to pay for their education and
the US ones are in the hole from college loans. The Russian ones will
except less money and from my experience of working with Russian
employees they are more specialized and can do some neat stuff. One
of my employees told me they just sort out what you're going to be
good at as a kid (and probably what you will enjoy doing) and then
when you graduate put you in an office to see if you produce anything
useful. But that was back in the Cold War era and probably not quite
the same as the oligarch run Russia of today.
My trouble with my Russian charges was getting them to understand
deadlines. Same with ex-DOD programmers.

Would you believe Russia is in the top spot? If true and their
graduates can't find jobs in their own country, they would probably
emigrate to the US.
The US is a distant 5th place. To compete in the world market, the
US must increase the number of college graduates in the near future.
Otherwise, the government, more likely, will find eligible workers
from more educated immigrants who can immediately fill the need of
industries.
