My problem was/is that I can hire anyone from anywhere EXCEPT the UK or Canada. I do not understand the discrimination against the English-speaking countries. The company that I work for now has engineers from India, Pakistan, Korea, The Middle East, and even China. NO Canadians or English. It just seems a bit strange.

To some extent I think that's a good thing. It was depressing wages in the tech sector. Companies were hiring tech workers on H-1B visas because those workers would work cheaper than U.S. citizens. There was no real shortage of labor in that sector, just a shortage of people willing to work for peanuts. H-1Bs are in a position to be exploited because if the company fires them, they have to leave the country. _______________________________________ For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
