I see what you were talking about Jim. I agree, if companies domicile here, they can hire American workers first before the H1-B's.
My point about restructuring our ed. system was that, often in the MSM propaganda, we will here the myth repeated ad nauseam that there aren't enough STEM workers, so they need to pass out visas like they are candy. That's why we see so many engineers, scientists, doctors, etc. from Asia and the far east.
Here is an interesting article. Rdeanie can sit and spin.
The STEM Crisis Is a Myth
Forget the dire predictions of a looming shortfall of scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians
The STEM Crisis Is a Myth - IEEE Spectrum
You realize you don't graduate with a degree that just says STEM on it, and that you are then a perfect match for the 277,000 jobs simply called STEM Job that companies are looking to fill, right?
Well of course.
Did you think I just ran through and looked for images, or rather, maybe, read the article too?
I swear, if I don't read the article, and tease out the important parts of it for you guys, you won't take into consideration what is relevant, and what you need to know.

Guess someone's got to do the heavy lifting.
"To parse the simultaneous claims of both a shortage and a surplus of STEM workers, we’ll need to delve into the data behind the debate, how it got going more than a half century ago, and the societal, economic, and nationalistic biases that have perpetuated it. And what that dissection reveals is that there is indeed a STEM crisis—just not the one everyone’s been talking about. The real STEM crisis is one of literacy: the fact that today’s students are not receiving a solid grounding in science, math, and engineering."

The nature of STEM work has also changed dramatically in the past several decades. In engineering, for instance, your job is no longer linked to a company but to a funded project. Long-term employment with a single company has been replaced by a series of de facto temporary positions that can quickly end when a project ends or the market shifts. To be sure, engineers in the 1950s were sometimes laid off during recessions, but they expected to be hired back when the economy picked up. That rarely happens today. And unlike in decades past, employers seldom offer generous education and training benefits to engineers to keep them current, so out-of-work engineers find they quickly become technologically obsolete.
Any of these factors can affect both short-term and longer-term demand for STEM workers, as well as for the particular skills those workers will need. The agencies that track science and engineering employment know this to be true. Buried in Chapter 3 of a 2012 NSF workforce study, for instance, you’ll find this caveat: “Projections of employment growth are plagued by uncertain assumptions and are notoriously difficult to make.”
So is there a shortfall of STEM workers or isn’t there?
The Georgetown study estimates that nearly two-thirds of the STEM job openings in the United States, or about 180 000 jobs per year, will require bachelor’s degrees. Now, if you apply the Commerce Department’s definition of STEM to the NSF’s annual count of science and engineering bachelor’s degrees, that means about 252 000 STEM graduates emerged in 2009. So even if all the STEM openings were entry-level positions and even if only new STEM bachelor’s holders could compete for them, that still leaves 70 000 graduates unable to get a job in their chosen field.
Of course, the pool of U.S. STEM workers is much bigger than that: It includes new STEM master’s and Ph.D. graduates (in 2009, around 80 000 and 25 000, respectively), STEM associate degree graduates (about 40 000), H-1B visa holders (more than 50 000), other immigrants and visa holders with STEM degrees, technical certificate holders, and non-STEM degree recipients looking to find STEM-related work. And then there’s the vast number of STEM degree holders who graduated in previous years or decades.
Even in the computer and IT industry, the sector that employs the most STEM workers and is expected to grow the most over the next 5 to 10 years, not everyone who wants a job can find one. A recent study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), a liberal-leaning think tank in Washington, D.C., found that more than a third of recent computer science graduates aren’t working in their chosen major; of that group, almost a third say the reason is that there are no jobs available.
<snip>
Clearly, powerful forces must be at work to perpetuate the cycle. One is obvious: the bottom line. Companies would rather not pay STEM professionals high salaries with lavish benefits, offer them training on the job, or guarantee them decades of stable employment. So having an oversupply of workers, whether domestically educated or imported, is to their benefit. It gives employers a larger pool from which they can pick the “best and the brightest,” and it helps keep wages in check. No less an authority than Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, said as much when in 2007 he advocated boosting the number of skilled immigrants entering the United States so as to “suppress” the wages of their U.S. counterparts, which he considered too high.
There is a collusion between government and industry to make sure they can find a cheap immigrant to do something that Jim would expect more money for. That's how fascism works. Our nation has been sold out to a bunch of globalists, and it doesn't matter which party they are in. Makes no difference at all.
Pukes from both parties are mystified how Trump got the nomination. Average folks are fed up. They don't know if Trump will solve anything, but if he burns the whole place down, it certainly doesn't seem like it would be a whole lot worse than the way things stand right now.
So, we've established that all you know about is plagiarism.
Obviously you didn't read or scan the article. I didn't plagiarize anything. It was a VERY LONG article. I only quoted relevant parts in a different font. Wow, you really have an aversion to reading, sorry about your learning disability. Or is it a language thing?
Your contention is that there is no perfect match between job hunters and employers. Why should I tell you that isn't so when I can just quote the article and you can see for yourself it isn't the case? I realize not all STEM degrees are interchangeable, but at the numbers we are talking about, the difference is meaningless.
I used to think you had some modicum of intelligence. Are you drinking and taking drugs tonight, purposely being obtuse, or just a crank?
The fact is, industry, the central bank, and the globalists have purposely kept the market saturated with more qualified people in every STEM sector of the economy so that labor wages will be depressed.
Added to that, the pace of change is so quick, these professions need to be constantly retrained. It doesn't matter if you are an . . . .

Business and industry are cheap and profit oriented. They would prefer to externalize that cost onto the employee rather than pick up the tab. If there is a fierce competition for jobs, the potential job seekers are more willing to foot the bill for keeping their training current. If you can't understand what is posted and need help with it, ask, don't be an ass.
