BREAKING: Trump Adds $100,000 (Annual?) Fee For Each H-1B Visa Applicant. India, China Top Numbers.

is 55K the standard salary. it looks a bit low.

if the salaries on offer are attractive for the skill levels then what's the issue.

that should soak up the circa 7% of IT grads who cannot find jobs.

point being that locals with those skills will demand more.

that is wage suppression.

This is not wage supression.
This is a typical salary for medical residents during training, which is much lower than fully licensed attending physicians who often earn hundreds of thousands.

 

[Ironman]

they really don't want to tax the rich. if tariffs were so successful in raising revenue for the government they wouldn't be doing this. they don't know how to fund the government even after cutting crucial spending for education, healthcare, food and housing.

All this is

 

[Gritsngravy]

get a refund fam. yes indeed.

china is not third world. neither is india (technically speaking).

lots of europeans/westerners move to the usa. including from wealthier countries (per capita)

I met a dude from Ireland recently, his job paid him to move to America, and they paying him way more too

I forgot exactly what he do, but it wasn’t no crazy job or nothing like that

This will be interesting to watch.

In the medium to long term, very good for India and China.

How?

You must be trolling, making a fraction of what they can make

More crabs in a smaller barrel

This will force hospitals to stop hiring international medical graduates, making doctor shortage worse, especially in underserved areas.

There’s rural areas where there are few doctors or clinics nearby and people often have to travel long distances for care because American doctors don’t wanna live there.

market forces would drive those wages up to attract people to make that sacrifice.

if you can fill the roles that keeps wages down.

no?

 

[GreenGhxst]

I get that but nah. India has not shown they can do that yet.

No one said the Chinese cannot manufacture. They were talking about quality / high-end goods.

Chinese also showed what they could do in places like Taiwan and Hong Kong.

India now has an economy that is bigger than the main ones in Europe and I cannot think of one major world class hardware tech company.

Ditto for indian led countries abroad.

There are structural and cultural issues that are in the way.

Big economy doesn't matter when most of the country lives in third world condition

Nobody from the west is moving to India for work or entrepreneurship

What am I missing?

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

that is what training is for.



meanwhile unemployment grows. job insecurity grows.

I should add, when I said people are complaining about job loss to foreingers that are jobs nobody wants, I shouldn't have said it like that exactly.
I maybe rushed the response, because U.S. medical education is among the most expensive worldwide, and usually needing substantial loans and financial support.
It is a multi-hundred-thousand-dollar investment to go to mecdical school in the U.S. I think that's the first thing that needs to be fixed.

that have the critical mass financially by dint of their large population to create world class large tech companies.

but they can't.

the british have a similar problem. but in india it is more pronounced.

ok. but saying that this is not just about doctors.

nurses are seeing wage and especially benefits suppression.

certainly vs. previous generations.

Medical residents earn between $58,000 and $75,000 per year, with gradual increments each postgraduate year based on experience and specialty.
I know many people in the healthcare industry and they tell me it's very hard to move up the ranks because if there are jews working there they will almost 100% get the promotion.

But proof of low wages is not proof of wage supression.
Because I think what you are saying when you say wage suppression is that if there were no foreign workers than wages would be higher.
I think what you posted is just an example of low wages, not wage suppressoin.

The residency match system has been challenged as anti-competitive, limiting residents' ability to negotiate salaries since they're bound to programs by the match results and contracts.
Hospitals and government funding structures limit the salaries offered, partly to control healthcare costs.

no?

Actually rural hospitals often pay slightly higher salaries (around 5-10% more) than urban areas to attract doctors already, it's not a huge increase but it's something.
Salary is only one factor that is influencing if doctors work in rural areas or not, it's also lifestyle preferences, family considerations, professional opportunities, and stuff like that. Also if you have kids maybe doctors won't want their kids going to those schools.

I got to get a really good understanding of the medical field because I was dating this girl that worked at a hospital.
We used to get deep in such discussions, and she brought me into her group of people, mostly females and some men, and I listened to all of them.
Then I was really suspicious of her, sometimes I didn't think of it because she had such a banging body on her, I was kinda too into her body.
Then yep, I found out she was cheating, I saw texts of her with flirtatious texts with other doctors back and forth, and then I found out many of her female friends she introduced me to from the hospital were also cheating on their man.
And apparently every female in healthcare has a like a work husband or wtv.

Man i still think of her to be honest because she had such a banging body, but i'm never gonna date another girl in healthcare again.
They all cheaters, but some of them so damn sexy

the mechanism is proof.

you already said in the other post that wages are raised rurally to attract people.

remove all H1B and wages would have to go up further to attract more people to fill the gaps.

or benefits would have to increase.

competition past a certain point is defacto wage supression.

we see this in the black/white wage differential where fewer options => less individual pricing power.

Because I think what you are saying when you say wage suppression is that if there were no foreign workers than wages would be higher.
