Some of Professor Norm Matloff's Writings on H-1B and Offshoring

(Note: Each of these articles was written at the invitation of the publication.)

• My 2017 Huffington Post op-ed.
• My 2013 EPI paper. Also my related Bloomberg op-ed (unfortunate title, not of my choosing).
• My paper in the academic journal Migration Letters.
• Here is another Bloomberg piece by me, urging Congress to NOT scapegoat the Indian firms; abuse of H-1B pervades the entire industry.
• Here is my 2013 Barron's op-ed.
• My 2012 academic paper on the subject is available here.
• I published an extensive academic paper on the H-1B/L-1 issue in 2003 in the University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform. At 100 pages and 300+ footnotes, this is the most extensive study ever published on this topic. Click here to download the paper.
• Another article was the relation of H-1B to age discrimination in the computer industry, published in 2006 in the California Labor and Employment Law Review, a publication of the California State Bar Association. Many people, even critics of the H-1B program, are unaware of the fact that one of the primary reasons employers like H-1B is that it broadens the young segment of the labor pool, enabling employers to avoid hiring the 45-year-old, or for that matter, 35-year-old, programmers and engineers.
