H-1B Visa Shortage – Growing Number of Job Openings in Computer Fields
Alarming foreign workforce shortages in computer fields
The NFAP (National Foundation for American Policy) recently released the results of research called “Updated Employment Data for Computer Occupations”, which reveal that the number of job openings in computer fields has increased exponentially and there is a growing shortage of skilled foreign workforce.
In order to fill labor gaps, a high percentage of companies related to computer fields use the H-1B visa as a means to hire highly qualified foreign workers in sectors such as computer science and technology.
However, the NFAP reveals that bureaucratic hurdles and the H-1B visa annual cap are worsening the situation for the computer sector, which is absolutely essential in a globalized world such as ours.
Let’s look at some of the most important findings:
- As of September 6, 2021, there were more than 1.2 million active job openings in computer occupations in the US.
- In just six months, the number of job openings available for workers in computer fields increased by 15%.
- The number of job openings in computer occupations exceeds at least 20 times the number of H-1B visa applications submitted by local employers to hire highly qualified foreign workers.

Research concludes that the US needs foreign workers
The NFAP openly states that, in order to understand the monumental importance of attracting highly skilled foreign nationals to fill labor gaps in computer fields, it is first imperative to know that foreign workers do not take opportunities away from local workers.
In fact, the research concludes that, if the US plans to use foreign workforce to boost the national economy, it must first eradicate the political debate surrounding foreign workers and the misconception that they are an obstacle to American workers.
Adding to that, the research reveals that “High-skilled workers can create additional jobs for people with complementary skills”, which should lead the country to either remove or modify the annual cap on H-1B visas to attract more talent from abroad.

Local companies in urgent need of qualified foreign workforce
Local companies, especially when it comes to fields such as technology and computer science, have expressed their need to hire workers from abroad to meet local market demands.
In fact, although the national labor shortage has been more in the public eye in recent months, dozens of American or US-based companies had already commented on the situation even before the global Coronavirus pandemic.
