A new report from the Economic Policy Institute suggests tech CEOs', lobbying groups', and senators' claims that immigration reform is needed to fill an abundance of open highly-skilled jobs in the US may be inaccurate. The group believes that there are more than enough qualified US workers to meet employers' demands, but that those workers may be looking to other industries because of wage concerns. It found that industry wages have remained flat for years, and that now only half of all US college graduates who studied science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are finding jobs in their field.
