H1-Bs just make the general picture for engineers more complicated. The problem with engineering is that employers tend to RIF the older ones and hire new grads. The rationale is that the new grads are cheaper and have more up to date skills. H1-Bs are then same. Given that a greater fraction of the new grads are H1-B material, that is the real pressure for raising the limit, to capture new grads. Electrical Engineering tends to be a burnout career path, you have to be willing to continually update your skills and eventually move into management or you go back to flipping burgers or being a greeter at WalMart. Some do, some don't. Now ask me why I am a grad. student at age 49. How do you like your job as a greeter at WalMart?
