To understand why the population at large does not understand what is happening with the non-immigrant guest worker programs, you need to study those rows with the largest Total Employment.

And then look at the H-1B, H-2A, H-2B & PERM visas applied for.

Notice how those rows have the least amount of visa applications?

That is because those are our lowest paying jobs.

It is only our highest paying jobs that we are being forced out of.

And we are considered overqualified for the lower paying jobs which leaves us desperate or worse.

All of this data is from 2018 & 2017.
