"With skyrocketing IT unemployment as a backdrop, the U.S. Congress let the H-1B visa limit drop back to 65,000 on Tuesday

The limit on H-1B visas had been boosted to 195,000 in 2000 in response to companies that claimed they couldn't hire enough domestic talent to fuel the dot-com bubble. Even then this assertion was scorned by many high-tech labor experts who saw the visa program as a way to get cheap workers. "

NOTE: Please do not let this thread delve into a political debate. There have been threads about this in the past that were quickly locked and removed when political tempers flared.

Lets keep on topic. :)

So how many 3d artists were in last years quota anyway? Is there any way to get such numbers? Seems unfair to lump artists together with engineers...
