US IMMIGRATION-RURAL STAFFING
DESCRIPTION: The new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas spells trouble for rural parts of the country that rely on immigrants to fill vacancies in skilled professions. Small, rural communities often face workforce shortages in critical sectors like healthcare and education, struggling to attract American workers from other parts of the country. International medical graduates frequently accept positions in these underserved areas, while immigrant teachers with advanced training fill essential roles from elementary classrooms to special education positions.
