The national quota H1-B visas, mostly used to bring in high-tech workers from overseas, lasted more than nine months this year, reports the Boston Globe, compared to less than a week in the past two years.

I don’t know if this is good news (American tech workers have become so good they fill the roles needed), not so good news (American tech workers are taking pay cuts to keep jobs) or bad news (tech firms still want foreign workers but don’t have enough business to hire them).
