H 2b visas

A California-based outsourcing firm discriminated against Americans for information technology (IT) jobs in the United States, preferring to hire only foreign workers imported on H-1B visas, a Department of Justice (DOJ) settlement reveals. This month, federal prosecutors announced a settlement with SpringShine Consulting Inc. for soliciting employment applications for IT jobs in the U.S. exclusively from foreign H-1B visa workers. According to the settlement, SpringShine sought employment applications on a job recruiting website — seeking foreign IT consultants only on H-1B visas. The recruitment post excluded all other job applicants, most notably qualified Americans. “Employers that discourage applicants based on their citizenship or immigration status, or save certain employment opportunities only for applicants who require sponsorship to work in the United States, violate the law and must be held accountable,” the Justice Department’s Kristen Clarke said in a statement. … [Read more...] about DOJ: Outsourcing Firm Discriminated Against Americans, Offering Tech Jobs Only to Foreign H-1B Visa Workers

Houston, we have a problem. Although it's in the top five of the most populated cities in the US, H-Town couldn't crack the top 50 on Ookla's list of the country's fastest cities for broadband. Per the speed-testing site's first quarter 2022 reporting , Houston managed to clock in at only No. 53. By contrast, its fellow Lone Star State cities of Austin , Corpus Christi, Irving and San Antonio all placed in the top 10. Other Texas towns that placed higher on the speed chart -- to add insult to injury -- include Arlington, El Paso, Fort Worth, Garland, Lubbock and Plano. Some small consolation: Houston managed to finish three slots ahead of Dallas. Despite the poor showing, Houston also offers several high-speed internet choices. You can get hooked up with home internet from fast fiber options including AT&T , Frontier and local provider, Tachus . You could hop online via cable connections from Optimum (formerly Suddenlink ) and Spectrum . You … [Read more...] about Best Internet Providers in Houston

Forget about keeping Austin weird. Let's talk about keeping Austin fast. I'm talking about one of the top five fastest cities in the country for internet speed kind of fast. The speed-testing site Ookla keeps track of the top cities in the US for median download speeds, based on millions of tests run daily by the company. In Ookla's first quarter 2022 report , Austin, Texas, which is the country's 28th most populous metro area, ranked as the fourth fastest city in the country, registering a median download speed of 208.93 megabits per second. That was good enough to place ATX well ahead of its Texan big-city brethren Dallas and Houston . One thing to note about those speeds: Austin gets a boost from the fast fiber options to be found within city limits, including AT&T and Google Fiber , and the wide availability of the consistent cable connection provided by Spectrum . But if you venture out beyond Travis County, to Round Rock, Georgetown, or some … [Read more...] about Best Internet Providers in Austin
