H-1B Visa Curb Could Benefit These Countries

Countries such as Singapore and Poland are set to benefit from the increasingly difficult processes associated with the permit acquisition of the United States; the latest report told journalists.

Those nations and a host of other like Finland and Taiwan are primed to gain in attracting experts in different fields such as engineering, according to a recent study made public on Thursday by an employment platform named HackerRank.

It judged the allure each country offered based on indigenous talent, wages, broadband speed, corruption in government, cost of living, time zone and the level of talents in each nation.

“If we make it more difficult for people to come into the country, the country could lose a lot of skilled workers, investment opportunities, and technological innovation which would have adverse effects on the gross domestic product of the United States and development,” a lead author on the published report stated.

The country’s department of justice also gave a warning to workers not to be biased against citizens of America. The impending loss of workers to foreign countries would be a detriment to the president, who promised during his campaign visits that he would turn the nation into the biggest producer of employment God ever made.
