S. 2045 will keep our economy growing. Support S. 2045.
There is a shortage of professional workers. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has said this professional worker shortage poses a threat to our continued economic boom, and that one solution may be to increase the cap on H-1B workers.
S. 2045 does just that, and is a short-term solution to the nation's shortage of skilled professional workers.
