Your post brings another question into play. Do the majority of Americans have the skills or training necessary to occupy this swarm of jobs that are coming our way?

 

No.

 

Either companies will start asking for more H1B visas (which can be denied), or companies will have to start lowering their requirements. This could also force federal and state education reform which may include expansion of job-related training in trade skills and IT. Hopefully we go this route instead of expanding work visas. Work visas is a short-term solution. Education reform with job-related training should be the long-term solution.
