A Fresh Approach to Immigration
in IT Worker Shortage, 1998
by Alan Fechter (CPST) and Michael Teitelbaum (Sloan Foundation). Excerpt : " In the late 1980s, NSF's prediction of massive, looming shortfalls of scientists and engineers in the 1990s was one factor motivating large increases in employment-based ceilings for skilled workers-from 54,000 to 140,000 per year-embodied in the Immigration Act of 1990. When the forecasts of shortfalls proved dramatically wrong and the job market for doctoral scientists and engineers began to turn sour, concern shifted from future shortfall to current glut. ... [Efforts] to moderate the large increases adopted in 1990 were blocked during the 104th Congress. ... This outcome reflects the built-in inertia of public policy as well as the political and financial superiority of those advocating no change, from organized ethnic and religious groups to organizations representing research universities and certain employers such as Microsoft and Intel.
