If you're comparison group is american citizens and permanent residents (green card holders) I'd guess there's likely to be limits on labor mobility and probably wages (perhaps operating through labor mobility, one common way to increase wages is to change jobs). But H1-B visa holders have the option to go back and work in their home-country, so a better comparison group might be dual residents (with full work privileges in both or multiple countries). <br /><br />Anecdotally, I worked under an H1-B visa for 4 or so years and found it didn't impact my wages relative to my US colleagues, but changing jobs was harder (though I did, once).Dan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17905845700423649898noreply@blogger.com
