This petition protects Technology jobs for US citizens. It limits the amount of H1B and H2B visa employees a US company can hire within a 12 month period, based on the unemployment rate. This could be a by-state limit and should be monitored. If the unemployment rate is over 5%, then the limit amount of HB1 and HB2 visas should be higher, allowing US citizens first choice to those US jobs. If the unemployment rate is lower than 5%, then more HB1 and HB2 visas can be allowed.
The key is to insist that US companies support the US job market by hiring US citizens first before considering non-citizens.
