Top jobs in the US - all STEM, fininancial, healthcare related, most requiring college degrees or some sort of training.

And it's not just an issue in the US.

people do NOT Hire H1Bs because they are better educated.  Get your head out of your "a**"   this has nothing to do with lack of education, which for some reason is one of the biggest draws for the world's children, to go to school in US.

No, people hire H1Bs because they are cheaper, compliant, workers, desperate to do anything to leave India and get a green card to USA.

We have PLENTY of educated people that would like jobs but are being stiffed , millions of US college graduates that are not getting jobs because of hundreds of thousands of H1Bs and 1 million Green cards EVERY year.

[i]However, the share of young college graduates working in jobs not requiring a college degree increased over the weak 2000–2007 business cycle, increased further in the Great Recession, and has not yet begun to improve. In 2007, 41.8 percent of employed college graduates under age 27 were working in a job that did not require a college degree, and t[b]his share increased to 44.6 percent by 2015 (Federal Reserve Bank of New York 2016).[/b] Furthermore, the “non-college” jobs that workers with a college degree are ending up in are of lower quality now than they used to be. In 2000, half of recent college graduates who were in a job that did not require a college degree were nevertheless in a “good” job that tended to be career-oriented and fairly well-compensated—such as electrician, dental hygienist, or mechanic. That share has dropped substantially, while at the same time, there has been an increase in the share of recent college grads who are in low-wage jobs, such as bartender, food server, or cashier. The bottom line is that for recent college graduates, finding a good job has become much more difficult.[/i]
