A study conducted by multiple researchers at multiple universities shows that there is no lack of qualified US tech workers, but rather a move by employers to cut wages on their ever more valuable IT staff.

The Register reports on the study paper.

US tech sites don't seem to have much interest in the story.

As someone who makes their living in the US tech sector, I find the study mirrors what I've been saying:

There is no shortage of US tech workers, there's a shortage of them willing to work for wages from the late 80s to early 90s. It also mirrors my own experiences.

So the question is, if we cut the visas, will companies just offshore more?
