    I do a lot of hiring. I really do not care about resumes or education. My top performers do not have degrees.

    I carefully question the candidate about their technical and other skills until I find holes. I walk them through open ended scenarios. I let them ask questions and give partial answers to see if they follow up.

    One problem with corporate America is that they do not want to train. That leaves a lot of talent on the table and raises labor costs long term.

    Why bother training when you can simply pay a politician to approve more H1Bs for people that hardly know that job either but will work for nothing under constant threat of being deported?

    NOTHING depresses consumer spending (which rightly or wrongly IS the main driver of the US ecomony) than artificially lowered wages.
