any many more with depressed wages because of it.
A major issue that isn’t talked about because it lies just beneath the surface.

They paid H1Bs with 10 years of software testing experience (at least one of which I knew wasn't inept) under $70k at my last client. No raises for years.

It is interesting, they are completely absent from jobs that involve physical tasks (racking and stacking, cable pulls, camera installs, etc.)

Tech wages in Florida were total shite in the early 2000s, which is how I ended up in SC and GA. As in, lower than Louisiana wages.

1st time I went to the UT campus I was surprised by the number of attractive blondes. I was expecting hot senoritas, but the blondes especially impressed me

Yesterday in my subdivision here in the Houston area, next to the little park with the swingset there were some Indian kids showing a white kid how to swing a cricket bat.

Wages overall are lower in Florida which played into my decision on where to move just a decade ago.

I knew a guy that worked marketing for Pepsi. They put him in Houston to evaluate test marketing. He said they like Houston because there are people there from all over the country. This was around 1977.
