It is a remarkable commentary that in this peculiar part of the labor market, an older worker is one who has passed his or her 35th birthday. Younger workers cost less than older ones, so many H-1B employers prefer young foreign workers to older (35-plus) Americans. Further, because of their legal status, nonimmigrants are more pliable (i.e., more indentured) than U.S. workers.

If one looks more carefully at these selections, it becomes clear that the system does not just prefer young males from India, it prefers young male Indians from areas where the Hindu religion is strong (a bit stronger than it is in the balance of the Republic). According to unpublished State Department data, the three Indian states (Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka) hosting two of the five U.S. consulates in India (Chennai and Hyderabad) that provided more than 59 percent of the H1-B visas issued in 2016 in India were 84.0 percent to 88.5 percent Hindu, compared to about 79 percent for India, generally. (The new state of Telangana, which recently split off from Andhra Pradesh, is still considered to be a part of the older state in these calculations.)

Stated another way, and using the same databases, the system not only favors young, Hindu males from India, it favors those from just the three southern Indian states served by those two consulates.
