We have long ago crossed the point where a contractor/H1B from India is cheaper and can be forced to work longer hours has replaced the majority of STEM graduates who would have traditionally filled these roles. Just look at the campuses of all the big players (MSFT, AMZN, APPL, META, etc) and you'll see that Indians make up the majority of employees (H1B/Contractors).

At the moment they are not taking the Walmart, Safeway, Starbucks, McDonald's, jobs. So it makes sense that these kids without degrees are being employed at higher rates.

Junk away
