>“A deficit of domestic tech workers to fill available American tech jobs is worsened by the lack of access to foreign talent,” said Peter Leroe-Muñoz, general counsel and senior vice president of tech policy for the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, an industry lobbying group. He said about 59% of the area’s workforce is foreign-born, including those holding H1B visas.

>Many jobs in such fields as information technology would have been filled by foreign workers holding H1B visas in the past year, Mr. Nowrasteh said, but instead they remained open or were moved overseas.

Interesting to think about how the US is somehow unable to home-grow talent in important fields like this... these tend to be well paying jobs but Americans, for some reason, can't fill them.
