2013-05-08 14:13:56| InfoWorld: Top News

Within the U.S. Senate's comprehensive immigration bill is a proposal to create a database that may shed new light on H-1B hiring. The intent of the database is to help improve the odds that a U.S. worker may get hired over a foreign worker.

U.S. firms say H-1B restrictions may help them

IT support services firm Caleris has this message on its homepage, "Outsource to Iowa. Not India," against a picture of a corn field and farm houses. Caleris' message could not be clearer. The company is competing from rural Iowa, with its lower cost-of-living, against India's offshore providers, and those in many other countries as well. But Caleris' founders, Sheldon Ohringer and Rick Grewell, two native Iowans, believe the U.S. Senate's comprehensive immigration bill may help them.
