The nation’s guest worker system is flawed and needs to be reformed. But sometimes, it’s hard to find hard information about the extent of the program. The AFL-CIO Department for Professional Employees (<1> DPE) has obtained copies of previously unavailable U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reports on the controversial H-1B guest worker program.
The new materials are posted on DPE’s website in conjunction with the release of a <2> new report on the ways employers “game” the H-1B visa system to lower wages and avoid unions.
Two sets of <3> USCIS reports are available on the DPE website. One set, “<3> U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services: Report of H-1B Petitions,” lays out the number of H-1B visas that were requested and actually granted, along with other details about the program.
The other set, “<3> U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services: Characteristics of Specialty Occupation Workers (H-1B) Annual Report,” provides more detailed information about the countries of origin, occupations, educational levels and compensation of H-1B visa recipients.
