H-1b work visas mean that US corporations can import foreign labor and suppress wages. It's federal interference with wages in the labor market. It's just another way both parties rig the game against workers.

That's strange, I have 25 years in this industry and have been looking for a job for 2 years. What they fail to tell you is they try to recruit working people to fill them. People I know have received emails offering them a job. I however, in their words, have lost my skill sets. Translation- you are to old. And since you have been jobless you must have been the bottom of the barrel or a lazy incompetent fool. The best is the overqualified......make up your mind you fools.

How is this even news? Looks like a desperate attempt to spin the employment picture to somehow look like things are getting better. 47,000 jobs is statistically insignificant.

My gosh, Oklahoma spent $100,000 per job created by a small medical device company. Andy Grove's July, 2010, article on job creation also calculated a similar high price for tech job creation. That is not efficient and it does not solve the problems of this economy.

47,000? We have about 130million jobs in this country and have lost nearly 9 million in this recession. That's a puny number

47,000 jobs isn't even a half drop in the bucket.

I love the part about companies don't want to hire people so they are turning to tech.
So in a couple of years these jobs will all be gone and the products they make will enable more people to be laid off.

Unfortunately, you have to be in/from India to get one of these jobs.
