What I'm advocating is an increase in the number of H1-B visas granted. The visas above and beyond the current quota would be tied to Rust Belt cities.<BR/><BR/>So, if Google wants to bring to the United States more overseas talent than currently allowed, they would have to do so in a Rust Belt city (e.g. Youngstown).<BR/><BR/>H-1B visas are tied to employers, who already restrict the geographic options for these immigrants (a key point that Dr. Florida completely overlooks). The policy I'm advocating would encourage employers to locate jobs in the Rust Belt, not force immigrants to move to Pittsburgh or other Rust Belt cities.Jim Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078184665418828961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24427664.post-26357435646469277262007-12-17T16:29:00.000+01:002007-12-17T16:29:00.000+01:00Once again your blog has provided a great deal of ...Once again your blog has provided a great deal of food for thought!
