There is a huge demand for help desk workers which is considered IT by many, but the reality is these positions can easily be filled by people with simple Microsoft certifications. Obviously there is a demand for engineers and such, but I am skeptical that they don't use the lower level jobs that they look for over qualified candidates to boost their argument for the need of the H1-b program.
The types of jobs they were talking about were the ones that required advanced degrees. I would be willing to bet that if this type of thing is happening, it is happening at the larger companies. This, of course, would do even more damage to the smaller companies. But, what causes me to be skeptical of your skepticism (skeptiception?) is that the time, effort, and resources involved in using the H1B process to staff positions would prohibitive to this kind of thing.
