Senate Proposes Massive H-1B Increase

Education & Resources

Bipartisan legislation introduced in the Senate on 29 January includes the largest increase ever to the H-1B program. 

The bill, S. 169, would more than triple the size of the H-1B program, while making nominal increases to the EB green card program.  If passed, the bill would be a boon to outsourcing companies while costing American workers tens of thousands of jobs.
