Median Salaries for H1-B Visa Workers Grew Five-Times Faster than the Salaries of Equivalent Domestic Workers, Over Last Decade
New data from Pew Research shows that temporary foreign workers (H1-B visa holders) have received significant raises over the last decade, while American workers have suffered from relative wage stagnation.
Over the last decade the median salary for H1-B visa workers rose from $69,455 to approximately $80,000 per year—a pay rise of almost 16%.
By contrast, the wages of domestic workers in similar jobs rose from $73,036 in 2007, to $75,306 today—a 3% increase.
