[[File:Unemployed.jpg|400px|thumb|right|"unemployed" by Erich Ferdinand (Flickr)<br/><br/>''' Unemployment statistics are not indication of availability.'''<br/>If a new college graduate's last (or current) job was as a barista, the Bureau of Labor Statistics counts that person as an unemployed barista, even if that person holds a Ph.D in a STEM discipline. This is also true if a seasoned veteran is displaced by a temporary foreign worker and has had to take a job outside of STEM to survive. The worker's last job determines the occupational classification, regardless to qualifications.]]

<div style="font-size: 1.25em; text-align:center;" itemprop="alternativeHeadline">'''As much as 110% of all US STEM employment growth in 2017, went to temporary foreign workers.'''</div>

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Occupational Employment Statistics (OES), provides STEM employment data-sets. Subtracting the 2016 employment levels (8,775,180), from the 2017 employment levels (8,893,920), we arrive at employment growth of 118,740 in STEM occupations for 2017.<ref name="OES STEM Data">{{cite web|url=https://www.bls.gov/oes/additional.htm|title = Occupational Employment Statistics: STEM data sets}}</ref>

The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not differentiate occupational data by citizenship status; therefore, employment growth resultant from temporary foreign workers is included in the BLS aggregate totals.

</div>
==Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) ==
The Bureau of Labor Statics (BLS) STEM definition includes occupations in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Computer, and related occupations in Management, Postsecondary teachers and Sales.

* The technology instructional classifications are distributed throughout the SOC occupations -- BLS does not currently maintain a broad category for (STEM) Technology occupations.

== Temporary foreign workers (methodology) ==
There are several temporary employment visa programs that adversely affect citizens and permanent residents in the STEM occupations, in addition, the OPT Extension (a 3 year internship for foreign students) and 144,000 employment based permanent residence visas impact employment. OPT and permanent resident visas are beyond the scope of this document.

=== H-1B temporary work visas ===

From the 2017, H-1B Characteristics report, we find that the STEM occupations alone exceed the employer lamented cap of 85,000 visas.<ref name ="H-1B Characteristics 2017">{{cite web|url=https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/reports-studies/Characteristics-of-Specialty-Occupation-Workers-H-1B-Fiscal-Year-2017.pdf |title= Characteristics of H-1B Specialty Occupation Workers, Fiscal Year 2017 Annual Report to Congress, October 1, 2016 – September 30, 2017, April 9, 2018}}</ref>

::{| class="wikitable"

|Computer-related occupations || 69,846

|-

|-
! colspan="2"|H-1B visa total = 86,030
|}

Effectively, H-1B foreign workers are offered the job first. The H-1B application season is the first week in April, well before US college graduation in June. If the employer pays for H-1B premium processing, USCIS can provide an confirmation or denial for the H-1B petition in as little as two weeks. Premium processing for (FY 2019) is temporarily suspended.<ref name="premium processing">{{cite web| url= https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/uscis-will-temporarily-suspend-premium-processing-fiscal-year-2019-h-1b-cap-petitions|title= USCIS Will Temporarily Suspend Premium Processing for Fiscal Year 2019 H-1B Cap Petitions}}</ref>

* The H-1B candidate may not enter the US without a job; therefore, United States candidates are relegated to the left over jobs.

=== L-1 temporary work visas ===

The L-1 visa is an intra-company visa with an initial term of 3 years. Manager's (L-1A) visas can be extended another 3 years, production employee (L-1B) visas can be extended 2 years.<ref name="about L-1 visa">{{cite web|url=https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/temporary-workers/l-1a-intracompany-transferee-executive-or-manager |title =L-1A Intracompany Transferee Executive or Manager}}</ref> The US Department of State (DOS) publishes data on Nonimmigrant Visas Issued by Classification, but this data does not provide occupational breakdown and may include re-entries.<ref name = "Department of State 2013-17">{{cite web|url=https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/AnnualReports/FY2017AnnualReport/FY17AnnualReport-TableXVIB.pdf|title= Table XVI(B) Nonimmigrant Visas Issued by Classification (Including Border Crossing Cards) Fiscal Years 2013-2017}}</ref>

* From the USCIS H-1B Characteristics reports, we can find the percentage initial employment authorizations issued. In terms of demand and function, L-1 temporary employment visas are virtually identical, so we will distribute the H-1B percentages to estimate the L-1 visa initial authorizations.

::{|class = "wikitable"
! colspan = "2"| Estimate of visas issued vs new employment authorizations (2017)

| DOS H-1B visas issued || 179,049
|-
| USCIS H-1B initial approvals || 108,101
|-
! colspan = "2"| Percent of H-1B that are new employment authorizations 60.38%
|}

* The Department of State issued 78,178 L-1 visas in 2017, but from our estimate above, only 60.38% of those would qualify as initial employment authorizations, where we arrive at 47,204 initial L-1 employment authorizations. From that percentage of L-1 issued visas, we distribute the same occupational breakdown as the H-1B occupations.

=== NAFTA professional (TN) visas ===

Similar to the L-1 visa,<ref name="nafta">{{cite web|url=https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/temporary-workers/tn-nafta-professionals|title=TN NAFTA Professionals}}</ref> we can obtain the NAFTA professional (TN) data for visa issued (16,119), from the Department of State.<ref name = "Department of State 2013-17"/>

* We again extrapolate our findings from the USCIS H-1B data. After we adjust continuing authorizations, the estimate of NAFTA initial employment authorizations at 9,733, or 60.38% of the NAFTA total.

*''Uses the same formulations described in the [[#L-1 temporary work visas|L-1 temporary work visas]] section.''

=== O-1 "genius" visa ===

According to the Department of State, 17,011 visas were issued in the O-1 category, "Person with extraordinary ability in the sciences, art, education, business, or athletics". We have have omitted these counts because these individuals are required to provide proof that they are extraordinarily qualified.<ref name = "O-1 visa about"> {{cite web|url=https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/temporary-workers/o-1-visa-individuals-extraordinary-ability-or-achievement|title= O-1 Visa: Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement}}</ref> Additionally, a large percentage of these recipients are likely to be celebrities, entertainers or professional athletes, the O-1 classification is not comparable to the H-1B visa.

== United States educational assets ==
For this document, we examine three definitions of STEM related degree production for citizens and permanent residents.

* A listing of BLS occupational (6-digit) CIP definitions -- an average of 341,031 STEM bachelors degrees conferred per year.
* The DHS list of eligible OPT Extension (6-digit CIPs) -- an average of 349,213 STEM bachelors degrees conferred per year.
* The 2-digit Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) -- an average of 313,767 STEM bachelors degrees conferred per year.

=== Degree production -- BLS Definitions ===
From the BLS defined Occupations (SOC) and the related instructional programs (CIP) obtained from the NCES crosswalk. The table below is the first of 3 degree production data-sets. In this table we include Science, Engineering, Math & Computer and exclude Managers, Postsecondary Teachers and Sales.

A three year sample (2013-15) is averaged to determine degrees conferred to citizens and permanent residents. Degree production in this data-set falls between totals found in two other data-sets provided later in this document.

* Degree Production: Bachelors and above (per year) = 424,464
* Degree Production: Associate degree and above (per year) = 524,922

=== OPT STEM Extension CIP list===

The OPT STEM Extension, extends the OPT student work authorization from one year to three years for STEM related degree recipients from U.S. colleges.<ref name="OPT overview">{{cite web|url=https://studyinthestates.dhs.gov/stem-opt-extension-overview|title=STEM OPT Extension Overview}}</ref> Formally called the Cap Gap extension, the OPT extension was created to allow foreign STEM students to work while attempting to secure an H-1B visa over multiple years. While these foreign students are employed and awaiting adjustment of status (as an F-1 student), their labor is exempt from Social Security contributions, both personally and for the employer. This government subsidy, 12.4% on Social Security and 2.9% on Medicare, makes a non-citizen in STEM OPT status an extremely competitive job candidate.<ref name= "Miano OPT">{{cite web|url=https://cis.org/Testimony/Immigration-Reforms-Needed-Protect-Skilled-American-Workers|title=Immigration Reforms Needed to Protect Skilled American Workers|author=John Miano|publisher= Center for Immigration Studies|access-date=2015-03-17}}</ref>

Our second gauge of US degree production comes from the DHS published CIPs, eligible for the STEM Extension.<ref name="STEM CIP"/>

* The following is a table of the average 628,897 citizen and permanent resident yearly graduates who do not receive the OPT extension subsidy.

* From the DHS STEM designation list, 628,897 degrees are conferred annually, 113,653 associate degrees are included. Arguably, a three year, tax subsidized, internship would go a long way to enhancing the employability of these graduates.

== Conclusion ==
In conclusion, we don't feel it is wise national policy to dedicate 100% or more of our STEM employment growth to temporary foreign workers.

*Using the '''exact''' CIPs derived from the [[#Degree production -- BLS Definitions|BLS STEM occupations list]], average degree production (524,922 yr.), exceeded four times the STEM employment growth for 2017.
*Using the [[STEM_shortage_debunked#OPT_STEM_Extension_CIP_list|DHS OPT definition of STEM CIPs]], used for temporary immigration purposes, average degree production (628,897 yr.) exceeds 5 times the amount of 2017 STEM employment growth in 2017.
*Using the more traditional [[#NCES STEM degree production|2-digit Classification for known STEM CIP]] groupings, the average degrees conferred (490,961 yr.), exceeded four times the 2017 employment growth.

'''There are several glaring policy questions that come to mind.'''
# What percentage of an occupation's annual employment growth should be dedicated to temporary foreign workers?
# During recessions, occupational employment levels often go negative, but temporary foreign work visas continue to be awarded to those occupations. Is this fair to United States college students graduating into recession?
#During recession recoveries, should there be a moratorium on temporary foreign work visas, so that citizens and permanent residents are included in the recovery?

Review by Neil Munro

::‏''Great page, but we need to subtract the H-1Bs/L-1s who leave. (Many stay in the EB-line, & 70K get GCs). I'd guess this data shows that most entry-level STEM jobs go to visa-workers & EB-GCs. Many entry-level accounting/biz/healthcare degrees go to visa-workers.''

* The government does not provide departure data, but over 90% of H-1B are renewed for a second three year term. This report is primarily concerned with one year, 2017.

* The "EB-Line" (Employment based permanent residence), is not an adjustment of status, it is an extension ([[Wikipedia:American_Competitiveness_in_the_21st_Century_Act#Provisions|AC21]]) of the H-1B or L-1 that allows the non-immigrant to extend beyond the initial six year limitation. Technically, these are still H-1B and L-1 visa holders.

* If most entry level STEM jobs go to visa workers, then we are conferring over 300,000 worthless STEM bachelor's degrees per year to citizens and permanent residents.

* This report focuses on 2017, initial employment approvals for H-1B 77.7% (86,030). Other mentioned occupational classifications for 2017:

:*Administrative Specializations = 6.2% (6,711)
:*Medicine and Health = 4.4% (4,696)
:*Managers and Officials N.E.C.* = 1.3% (1,398)

* This report purposely excluded the [[Wikipedia:Optional_Practical_Training|OPT extension]], aka "H-1B Cap Gap" for foreign STEM students. In addition to the 130,269 H-1B, L-1 and NAFTA workers added in 2017 (110% of employment growth), an additional 45,184 (2016) foreign students entered the U.S. STEM workforce for up to 3 years.

Finally, if we take into consideration that there are 1.5 million Indian nationals backlogged in our employment based green card system since 2004,<ref name="Munro 2018">{{cite web | last=Munro | first=Neil | title=Rep. Yoder's India Lobby Offers $$$ to Jump Line for Green Cards | website=Breitbart | date=2018-09-13 | url=https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/09/13/rep-yoders-india-lobby-offers-money-to-jump-line-for-green-cards/ | access-date=2018-10-04}}</ref> departures and retirements are not likely to represent a significant portion of these presumably entry level positions.
