My company can be very picky as who they hire... and the world is our job applicants. Literally.

As long as you have a decent internet connection and can interact with other team members ( English and technical skills are normal requirements, but even English is not completely necessary ), your in.

India graduates more honors students than the USA HAS students. China... were it not for export restrictions on our technology, would be a huge source of educated qualified workers.

And then there is the rest of the world. Imagine if we improve the lives of people in Africa and their educational opportunities. EU is a great source of educated and skilled workers who would be very happy to stay in the EU and work "remotely". South and Central America as well.

Of course we want the best qualified and best educated people to work for us. But they simply don't have to come physically to the USA to do that. Trump and licknuts live in the 1970s mentality. So completely stupid.

Of course, for those skilled in trades like electricians, plumbers, construction people... we mostly hire contractors to do those roles for us now, that won't change, we probably will pay more for the buildings we build and maintain, but seriously, that is not a large source of H1B visa employment, either for us directly or our contractors.

Not to mention that we will likely do those construction projects where we have new workers... which won't be here.
