CEOs Say They Need More Workers, but Ask for Fewer H-1B Visa Workers
Blue Collar, White Collar Workers

U.S. business leaders are pleading for more imported white-collar workers — but they are asking for fewer H-1B visa workers than they sought in 2015 and 2016.
In April, CEOs filed 201,011 H-1B requests to import foreign graduates for work in 2020. But that total is down 15 percent from the 236,000 petitions filed for 2016 workers — even though today’s unemployment numbers are at record lows amid the continued economic growth in President Donald Trump’s “Hire American†economy.
