New research shows that hiring H-1B visa holders is associated with increases in employment at U.S. technology companies, undermining the assertion of critics that foreign-born professionals harm the job prospects of Americans. The research contributes to an understanding of the dynamics of company hiring and addresses arguments made to justify current strict limitations on hiring talented international students and other foreign nationals in the United States.
