It will increase training for the unemployed and help people crosstrain into these fields. After the bill expires in 5 years. I am hopeful the supply of permanent. skilled American workers will be sufficient to meet industrys needs. This bill enhances the current H1B visas by increasing the penalties five times and improving enforcement against willful offenders. although there have been few enforcement actions in the past. S. 1723. also. provides nolayoff protection for American workers and prohibits underpayment of temporary foreign nationals. In an industry where starting salaries for these skilled workers are between $35.000 and $75.000. by law HlBs are to be paid the middle wage of the prevailing scale.
