Microsoft Uses Women's Soccer Team to Regurgitate Faulty Data

Microsoft's use of the US Women's Soccer Team and faulty data to try to increase immigration falls to a new low.

We gained some traction on "train your replacement" H-1B abuse.  Many thanks to the journalists who covered the stories.

Foremost, a big thank you to ComputerWorld's,  Patrick Thibodeau for his tireless work on covering the H-1B and foreign labor arbitrage topic. "About 500 IT jobs are cut at utility through layoffs and voluntary departures", February 4, 2015.

The New York Times, Pulitzer Prize winner, Julia Preston, who wrote, "Pink Slips at Disney. But First, Training Foreign Replacements", June 3, 2015, and was surprised enough about the comments on the article that she did a follow up article.

The Los Angeles Times, Pulitzer Prize winner,   Michael Hiltzik, who covered the Southern California Edison labor arbitrage in, "A loophole in immigration law is costing thousands of American jobs" February 20, 2015. (Sorry, no links, The LA Times is currently behind paywall -- I guess I could delete their cookie.).

The Immigration shills waited a while and have now started regurgitating the faulty, data based, immigration attorney funded, H-1B (temporary foreign labor) propaganda.   The use of women's issues and the US National Soccer Team is a new angle though. The article is pretty well identified as propaganda and discussed on Slashdot.
 

Ten days ago, the United States women’s national soccer team became the most successful team in the history of the FIFA Women’s World Cup by winning the top prize for the third time. However, despite the fact that soccer is not as popular in America as in the rest of the world, it is not surprising that the U.S. women have been dominant in the sport in recent years. The explanation for that success lies in the talent pipeline. With over 1.5 million girls registered in youth leagues, close to 50 percent of all youth players in the U.S. are female and soccer is one of the top three most popular sports among girls ages 5-19.

We only get into the third paragraph before the author whips out the cherry picked graduation data and uses BLS projections rather than actual data.

Unfortunately, the strength in the talent pipeline that we see in female soccer today is not the reality for technology. The U.S. is facing a shortage of Computer Science (CS) graduates. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, every year there are close to 140,000 jobs requiring a CS degree, but only 40,000 U.S. college graduates major in CS, which means that 100,000 positions go unfilled by domestic talent. Even more dramatic is that women in U.S. colleges and universities earn only 18 percent of CS degrees."

First, Computer Science undergraduate degrees are not the only degrees that are applicable to Computer occupations.  Additionally, in 2011, the Census Bureau reports that, 1,013,300 (28%) of those employed in Computer occupations held less than a bachelor's degree.

Citizens and Permanent Residents
Computer related degrees conferred 2013	Total	Female	-/- Percent Female
Master's Degrees	12,725	3,303	25.96%
Bachelor's Degrees	49,204	8,726	17.73%
Associate's Degrees	38,608	8,198	21.23%
Total	100,537	20,227	20.12%

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projections is also rather suspect at 140,000 per year, in fact, since 2009, employment growth in computer occupations is less than 10% of projected, at 13,922.

Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics: OES

By the way, the H-1B initial employment approvals for Computer-related occupations was 80,877 for 2014 alone.  One year of H-1B intake exceeded five years of recession recovery growth of 69,610.

The latest five years of C.S. and C.I.S. graduation data (2009-13), for citizens and permanent residents only (Master's, Bachelor's and Associate) is 444,912 with 92,716 (20.84%) conferred to women. 

After this investment in time and resources, do our qualified women even get a tryout, when temporary foreign workers have a clear hiring preference?

Incidentally, are there any women with temporary visas on the U.S. Women's Soccer Team?

Debunked: Shortage in Math and Computer Science

Shortage of Computer Science and Mathematics Debunked -- Professionals crowded out by H-1B

College employment outcomes worsening

I am surprised that I had not thought of approaching the STEM shortage myth in this manner before.  Math and Computer Science constitutes 50% of all STEM occupations and roughly 60% of all new H-1B visas are computer related. The H-1B visa program began in 1992; therefore, we can presume that Math and Computer Science occupations were primarily staffed with citizens and permanent residents in 1992.

NCSES ranked colleges conferred 2,317,505 Math and Computer Science degrees and certificates from 1992 to 2013, to citizens and permanent residents.  Using 1992 employment levels (1,830,800) as our baseline, we add the new degrees to the 1992 employment levels to find the size of our native Math and Computer Science workforce at 4,147,305

Math & CompSci 1992 - 2013
Employment levels
(15-000) Computer and Mathematical Occupations (2013) = 3,696,180
Math and Computer Science (1992) = 1,830,800
Growth levels
Employment Growth Since 1992 = 1,865,380
Mathematics and Computer Degrees & Certs (1992-2013) = 2,317,505
Employment deficit = 486,705 (13.17%)
Does not include foreign workers since 1992, nor foreign students.

Only counting domestic resources (citizens and permanent residents), we have educated half a million more Math and CompSci professionals than we employ.  This without considering the hundreds of thousands of H-1B, L-1, T-N (NAFTA), OPT and O visas granted annually.

So where is this shortage? The IT shortage that employers, trade associations and immigration attorneys write incessantly about?  (The occupations targeted with "shortage" adjective (traditionally Math & CompSci) has been expanded to STEM occupations, but that topic is for another paper.)

486,705 is a surplus of 9,734 formally trained professionals for every state in the nation, or a national surplus of 13.17%.  For retirement to be a factor, a significant portion of those employed in Math and Computer Science occupations would have had to have been 42 years old in 1992. Highly unlikely since IBM's MS-DOS was not introduced until August of 1981.

---

There are about 1.6 million H-1B working in the US, per USCIS 2014 data, 64.5% are in computer occupations. Roughly 1,032,000 H-1B in CompSci.

---

We also know from the Census Bureau (ACS), that a bachelors degree is not mandatory in computer science, 28% of those employed in computer occupations had less that a bachelors degree in 2011.  Aptitude can be proven with coursework, individual initiative, or both.

High School or less
Computer support specialists = 49,200
Computer occupations, all other = 31,800
Software developers = 22,400
Computer programmers = 21,800
Computer systems analysts = 20,800
Computer and information systems managers = 20,100

Some College or Associate’s Degree 
Computer support specialists = 210,700
Computer occupations, all other = 125,100
Computer and information systems managers = 116,500
Software developers = 114,700
Computer systems analysts = 98,700
Computer programmers = 94,300
Network and computer systems administrators = 87,200

Computer occupations less than bachelors degree (2011) = 1,013,300 (28.04%)

Computer occupations employment 2011 = 3,614,046

• In 2011, Computer occupations accounted for 50% of all STEM occupations.

Detailed by field of degree from the same Census Bureau report, only 49% of those with Computers, mathematics, statistics degrees are working in STEM fields.  Under the twisted logic of trade-association's, open-borders propaganda, they would have you believe that this is due to these professionals finding better employment in other fields.  The reality is that these professionals have just as likely been crowded out of their chosen field by temporary foreign workers.

Census Bureau: Bachelor’s Degree for the First Listed Major: 2011

• Computers, mathematics, and statistics = 1,879,764  
• 51% not working in STEM = 958,679

Math & CompSci Deficit Update 1992 - 2015
Employment levels
(15-000) Computer and Mathematical Occupations (2015) = 4,005,250
Math and Computer Science (1992) = 1,830,800
Growth levels
Employment Growth Since 1992 = 2,174,450
Mathematics and Computer Degrees & Certs (1992-2015) = 2,657,642
Employment deficit = 483,192 (12.06%)
Does not include foreign workers since 1992, nor foreign students.

Note 1: I became curious as to whether some degrees or certifications may have been granted to the same persons.  I ran the NSF/WEBCASPAR query again, this time selecting "Highest Degree (standardized):" rather than "Level of Degree or Other Award:" both queries yield the same result of 2,657,642.

Note 2: Employment growth in Math & CompSci, for the years 2013, 2014 and 2015, totaled was 397,360. Unemployment decreased from 3.6 to 2.6 percent, declining by 34,000 persons, but the employment deficit only declined by 3,513. Of the unemployment decline, only 10.33% came from the employment deficit I've described in this paper.

For 2013 and 2014, 160,747 new H-1B temporary workers were added to the Computer related occupations. 401,922 new citizen and permanent resident degrees and certifications (2013 (127,260), 2014 (135,176) and 2015 (139,486)), would have kept pace with the increase in employment levels without the need for temporary workers.

Show Us The Workers -- Here You Go

"Show Us The Workers - U.S. Employers Struggle to Fill Science, Technology, Engineering and Math ("STEM") Positions" is a published challenge made by Shanon R. Stevenson, of Fisher and Phillips LLP, a group of immigration attorneys in Atlanta, Georgia.  The challenge is to disprove the "shortage of STEM workers" propaganda promoted by immigration attorneys and lobbyists.  In her 2 page PDF document, Ms. Stevenson references a DOL publication, Foreign Labor Certification Annual Report, which is where I discovered the data for Table 2 and Table 3 of this document.

Ms. Stevenson writes:

"Despite the recession, the lack of jobs and the training fees charged to U.S. employers hiring foreign workers on temporary H-1B work visas, the U.S. Department of Labor’s ("USDOL") recently released Foreign Labor Certification Annual Report shows that U.S. employers are still struggling to find qualified U.S. workers in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math ("STEM"). Employers report recruiting for STEM positions for over two years in hopes of ultimately finding a qualified U.S. worker – often resulting in the employer losing lucrative contracts or having to resort to using contract workers."

Generally, when a firm is looking for new STEM talent, they look to the colleges, here's a table of the degrees conferred in areas that are rich in STEM curriculum for 2008 and 2009.

With employers complaining of a shortage of "qualified" candidates, the term "qualified candidate" cannot be considered entry level salary.  Therefore, Table 3.(b) should be a fair representation for comparing median salaries against foreign worker salary offers. (In most cases, the Prevailing Wage Determination is low enough to recoup immigration and legal fees associated with employing foreign workers in the first year of employment.)

So, Ms. Stevenson, if there is demand for your immigration services, it isn't because there is a shortage of U.S. citizen or permanent resident candidates.   In the aggregate we have lost about 100,000 jobs in these "shortage" occupations. Even within the "growth" occupations, in almost all cases, foreign labor applicants exceeded employment growth; this fact absolutely disproves the labor shortage thesis.

For instance, within Computer Software Engineers, Applications, if 9,282 immigrants were added to the employment roles and the employment levels only rose by 3,780 there are 5,502 Computer Software Engineers, Applications specialists who are now unemployed.
