A study by the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) has raised concerns about the potential impact of proposed wage mandates for H-1B visa holders in the United States. The study warns that requiring employers to pay at least the median local wage to skilled foreign workers could hinder US companies from hiring these individuals. It suggests that such mandates may lead to job offshoring and could particularly impact recent graduates in science and engineering fields. This, in turn, could weaken the US workforce in critical technology sectors. The findings highlight the importance of considering the implications of wage mandates on H-1B visa holders and the broader labor market.
