While the Chamber. other business community leaders. and the Nebraska state government. have been actively recruiting workers from within the state. across the country and around the world. they have not been able to produce enough skilled workers to keep pace with job growth. The United States Senate can take an important step toward addressing this problem by passing the American Competitiveness Act. This legislation will immediately help Americas companies and universities by raising the current ceiling on the number of foreignborn professionals we allow to work in the United States under the H1B visa program. These temporary visas are used to attract the best and brightest minds from around the world to U.S. companies and universities. which helps them to compete in global markets. We must also address our Nations long term employment challenges by preparing more American students for the high technology. global workforce of tomorrow. Not enough of our students are being prepared. or preparing themselves. to excel in an increasingly hightech economy.
