58. The flaw in your analysis is that you let companies get away with over specification of qualificatio

If every user had to have similar qualifications, then a paralegal who worked on windows 7.0, word 8 0, outlook 9.0 and excel 10.0 would not qualify for paralegal positions in offices that run windows 7.1, word 8.1, outlook 9.1, and excel 10.1.

Nor would you know how quickly an American programmer who is qualified in C++ can learn Java or the small differences in Weblogic vs Websphere.

Or when a job really doesn't need a Masters degree with artificial intelligence and 10 specific requirements for a run of the mill banking system.

Also, you are not looking at male-female ratios. H1 bs are overwhelmingly male.

You know, the first computer, ENIAC was programmed by American housewives!

Your surveys for prevailing wage are skewed to a norm and not contract specific.

Finally, has it occurred to you that many of the regulations are not tough enough to prohibit abuse.
