Bring Your Questions on Skilled Immigrants

By CATHERINE RAMPELL

Are more skilled immigrants good for the economy? Do they lower American workers' wages? Where are they most in demand?

Now's your chance to ask scholars from the Brookings Institution these and other questions about skilled immigrants. Neil G. Ruiz, Jill H. Wilson and Shyamali Choudhury released a report this week about the geography of H-1B visas, which allow employers to hire foreigners to work in specialty occupations on a temporary basis.

Demand for H-1B workers varies by region, as you can see from the map above. But across the country, openings for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (or STEM) occupations account for nearly two-thirds of requests for H-1B workers.
