Over the long term. we must see to it that American workers possess the skills and knowhow to fill the jobs created by American hightech firms. For this reason. our legislation provides for 20.000 new college scholarships annually for lowincome students in math. engineering. and computer science through the State Student Incentive Grant program. Our bill also sunsets the higher HlB visa cap after five years so we can determine whether an increased supply of foreign professionals remains necessary to our economic wellbeing. American unemployment levels stand at their lowest levels in over two decades. Americans are not responding to the "Wanted" ads in their local newspapers for hightech and other skilled positions at U.S. companies. universities. and research centers.
