Thanks! The main reason is that we don’t know what important details are left out when the article is summarized, then if people make comments in response to the summary instead of reading the whole article, the discussion thread is somewhat poisoned.
Conclusion
The data points cited in the article are mostly accurate, based on available government reports (e.g., USCIS, ICE, NACE). However, the interpretations and causal claims are ideologically framed and often lack nuance:
Sound in identifying employment and wage challenges for new CS graduates.
Oversimplified in attributing these challenges mainly or solely to foreign workers.
Questionable in presenting policy recommendations as the only “truth-based” solution.
If you're looking for a deeper, balanced understanding, consider consulting:
National Science Board’s Science & Engineering Indicators
Brookings Institution or Cato Institute reports (for contrasting views)
NACE and NCES for graduate outcomes and education data
Just so others don’t have to do it. I did not think this post was hn worthy so wanted to save some time for others. Maybe hn needs to do it automatically
