[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I work in a hospital lab. The scientists make around 40 per hour with 2 dollars extra for night shift. Now, obviously 2 dollars is not enough. So day shift is staffed by Americans and night shift is 100% h1b.
I wouldn't call this a true worker shortage."

I agree. It's not a "worker shortage". It's a refusal to pay enough extra to make the night shift worth the hassle. [/quote]

I disagree it's not pay issue it's "let's see how uncomfortable we can make the job such that Americans are unwilling to do it so that we can import immigrants." issue.

Believe it or not there is a whole industry that has evolved to make jobs look unappealing to Americans so that they can say none applied.  They job may very well be fine; they just advertise it in the worst possible light.  From misspelled skillz and l33t speak in the posting to snail mail to submit the CV.  Oh and travel.  It's a cubicle farm etc.  They literally do it on purpose.  Hostile interview questions.[/quote]

In healthcare jobs it is completely a pay issue. We have our pick of local applicants for day shift jobs. It's the night that is impossible to staff.
During the beginning of covid almost all our older staff quit. Hospitals were paying an extra $18 per hour "emergency pay" and miraculously we were able to hire plenty of local technicians to replace the older ones with no h1b required. When that pay went away so did the workers and h1b to the rescue. [/quote]
