Cargill. another Minnesotabased company. has 10 to 15% of their technology department unstaffedabout 99 to 110 people with a starting salary of $44.000. They have not been able to meet their needs through local labor pools and universities. They have been forced to turn to temporary foreign nationals. Furthermore. they tell me they have a 15% turnover because of competition from other U.S. companies. Honeywell has 7.500 Minnesota employees and does not hire a large number of H1B nationalsonly those of needed technical skills. However. these shortages affect the productivity of the whole company. Even labor has agreed that there is a temporary need for this adjustment. that it may be warranted due to current market conditions and global demands.
