Those who come into the U.S. on an H-1B visa for highly skilledwork receive salaries higher, on the median, than U.S. workersengaged in the same work.

HRDive reports that while employers planned to pay high-skilledH-1B visa holders a median salary of $80,000 in 2016, up from$69,000 a decade ago, their U.S. counterparts weren’t so lucky. Thedata came from new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services datathat made salary information on H-1B visa workers public for thefirst time. Those workers generally hold positions in science andmathematics.

A Pew Research analysis, however, found that U.S.workers in those fields and working in similar jobs had a notablylower median salary of $75,036 in 2016. The analysis cited datafrom the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. American workers in thosepositions earned $73,979 in 2007, so they haven’t seen anywherenear the salary increases that H-1B workers have over the past tenyears.
