H-1Bs, April 1, The “Lottery”, and a New Harvard Study

Last week the Center for Global Development announced a research project to be conducted by Michael Clemens, PhD, a Harvard-trained economist. The study is desiged to shed light on HOW the H-1B lottery affects highly-skilled workers from abroad. The study team is looking for foreign nationals interested in participating in this study. If your clients want to be part of very important research on the topic of the H-1B, have them eamil Paolo Abarcar at paolo.ararcard@cgdev.org, who is working with Dr. Clemens on this study.
The more we know about the H-1B program and how things like the “H-1B Lottery” affect not only Americans and American businesses, but also foreign nationals, the better we will be able to understand and document the utter nonsense of these arbirary limitations. Facts will beat rhetoric every day of the week, and twice on Sundays. Reach out to your clients and get them to participate in this study.
