Less money usually means less skill, too. So it seems from my experience up here in Canada.

Which makes IBM's response to Senator Charles Grassley even more preposterous: "The high skilled visa programs provide a limited but necessary means for IBM to meet the near to medium term needs of its U.S clients and our own business. The technology industry's shift to new, higher value growth areas such as cloud, analytics, mobile, security and social technologies is placing a greater premium on a new set of skills. These changes are exacerbating the skills shortage that we discussed with you during your 2013 visit to IBM's Dubuque center." "We bring goreign workers to the U.S. because those workers have specific profiles and expertise that we cannot source locally in a timely way to fulfill client contract requirements."
