48. Is your brother-in-law willing to relocate?

Does he have the specific skills the prospective employer is looking for? If the answer to both of those questions is "yes," then great, I'll agree with you that he's getting screwed. But the job market is very specialized these days. Employers want not only someone with a basic computer science background, but someone with x number of years of experience in the specific type of programming they need for the specific project they're working on. Personally, I think the US economy was way better off when companies hired graduates directly from school and invested the time and money to train them, but, alas, that does not seem to be the way these things work nowadays and I don't think you can blame that on a handful of temporary migrants. If your brother-in-law hasn't found a job because he doesn't live in an area where they're are employers and he's unwilling to relocate to someplace where there are employers, I sympathize, I wouldn't want to move from where I live either. But, again, that's not the fault of temporary migrants.
