Thanks for every ones input. I'm not a tech guy or even that tech savvy. I introduced the thread mainly to get others opinions as it was something I wasn't very aware of until recently. Much of my opinion has been shaped thus far by people that are in the field sharing their experiences of losing jobs to foreign workers because they can be hired cheaper. It just seems ludicrous that we don't have enough young people sufficiently trained to fill these jobs. And if it is the case then we really need to be looking at our education system as to why we are not producing enough of these skilled workers. One of the posts here mentioned (I didn't quote anyone because I'm mainly responding to everyone that replied) that if they didn't bring the workers in, the jobs would just be outsourced. But either way Americans are losing jobs, and I can't help but feel that is to help the bottom line. I've heard stories that companies will change the job description to make it seem like there aren't enough qualified candidates in this country, therefore they must look outside to fill it. It just seems weird to me that as technologically advanced as this country is, that we'd have to look to third world countries to fill the void.

Again thanks for every ones input. I would like to respond to some of these post individually but I need to be getting to bed soon, got work tomorrow.
