America’s STEM Grads Are Locked Out; the H1B Visa Loophole Behind it that No One Wants to Close
Half a million American STEM grads can’t get jobs. Meanwhile, 240,000 OPT visa holders just took theirs — with zero FICA tax.
It’s not about talent. It’s about incentives. Tax code. Loopholes. Corporate offshoring. And a system built to say “there’s a shortage” while the pipeline sits full.
On this episode of The Pulse Wave, we break down the numbers and expose the mechanics behind America’s most under-discussed workforce failure.
👉 Vince Virga (SkillStorm)
👉 Rob Murtha (Adjective)
👉 Tommy Weinert (Mount Indy)
We cover:
The real impact of H1B, OPT, and F1 visas
The revolving door of offshore recruiting firms
How universities cashed in while kids got wrecked
What it’ll take to fix this
Watch it. Then show your HR director.
