    $60,000 a year is low wage?

    Where did you even get that number from?

    There’s a mention in Bernie’s tweet of associate accountants getting 58k, but his point there is we have plenty of Americans who can fill that role, and there’s zero reason for a h1b.

    The average Tesla pays one of those is 71k

    So yes, comparitively speaking it’s a low wage…

      60K is the minimum you need to get paid for an entry level job using H1B, if not your visa won’t get approved. It used to be around 58K and now it has gone up. A lot of companies offer this minimum so people who are desperate for a job will take it. Also companies use consultancies to fill these roles so you’ll have to check their salaries.
