Looking for a permanent or contract position in the Information Technology field? Fortune 500 companies are filling technical positions with an immigrant workforce on H-1B visas. In addition to new positions being filled by these visa holders, American workers are being laid-off while theirs and other related positions are filled with foreign talent. What is the unemployment rate in IT? Good question. Locally, unemployment is not tracked by skill but by industry. Virtually all industries have suffered post September 11th and many have shared hardships in the economic downturn, but are others unable to find a new opportunity due to cheaper, imported resources? Why are roughly 900 of the 3000 technical professionals I keep in contact with out of work? Take a walk through ING, Aetna, Cigna, Travelers, The Hartford, Massachusetts Mutual, United HealthGroup, Lincoln Life, Pfizer, Northeast Utilities or any other local, comparable organization. You will find a small army of the current 890,000 (nationally) H-1B holders filling American jobs. Be heard, spread the word and help gather support. Organize! Unionize! CanÂ’t be bothered? Then change careers. You can make a difference, write or call your local representatives and make congress address this issue today.
