Skilled Immigration: The New Common Ground in the Reform Debate | Cato Institute

Skilled Immigration: The New Common Ground in the Reform Debate | Cato Institute: "Just over half of all H-1B workers work in the computer industry, where unemployment is under 4 percent."

"A survey of 50 top venture-funded companies carried out by the National Foundation for American Policy found that 48 percent of those companies had at least one immigrant founder. Seventy-five percent of the firms surveyed had one or more skilled immigrants as a key member of its product development or management teams. Many of those firms would not exist if those vital immigrant employees were not legally allowed to work."
