Jobs Americans Won't Do

Hockey Coach Quota--WSJ.com:

The University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves hockey team is on a roll, and interim coach Dave Shyiak is a top candidate for coach of the year in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.

But the team has a big problem. Mr. Shyiak was born in Canada and is working as a so-called temporary H1-B professional worker. His visa is expiring and U.S. immigration officials fret that this foreigner may be taking a job from an American citizen. So the university must comply with rules that require it to verify that there is no American worker who is "able, willing, qualified, and available to accept the job at the prevailing wage for that occupation." The university is taking out newspaper ads for the hockey team's head-coach position and hoping no one applies.


They're takin' our jerbs!
