The Programmers Guild: H-1Bs behind women's decline in IT
Ed Frauenheim writes on C|Net News:
Want to know why women's share of tech jobs is shrinking? Look at the temporary guest workers entering the country, most of whom are male.
That's the case being made by a group that advocates on behalf of U.S. software programmers and opposes H-1B visas. The Programmers Guild plans to release a report this week that re-examines data from a workforce diversity study [.pdf] published last week by the Information Technology Association of America industry group. Among the guild's arguments: the use of H-1B visas contributes to low shares of information technology jobs held by women and some racial minorities.
