And those 100K jobs are mostly in high cost of living areas. While decent, its not quite as good as you think. And lots of them end up in contract jobs.
I'm a CS major. Things are relative. I'm not saying they never party
Big cities and expensive places always have more high paying jobs, no matter what you study. Unless you want to be a farmer...
There's no justification for the H-1b other than that it allows sleazy companies to save money. How does that work when the language of the statute says that it can't be used that way?

End H-1b.
IT industry needs a lot of software engineers, for example. There are not enough. Even Europe hires a lot of people from Asia.
Yeah you may argue we can change the educational systems etc but we are talking about the immediate needs.

Immediate needs are jobs for millennial college graduates from our country ! On average, young adults today are less financially secure than their parents were at their age, earning 20 percent less and benefitting less from college education even though many are better educated than their parents?
Nearly one in three millennials lives in their parents' home, many of them with high student debt, but we need to import people for high paying jobs?

To graduate with a CS degree, you need to pass calculus, linear algebra, algorithms, operating system, computer architecture.... You can try. Typically a decent engineer needs IQ 120+, plus a lot of training.
How many millennial college students immediately qualify? Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon would like to hire them, since H1B petition costs $5000 plus attorney fees.
More then H1B visas, it is the outsourcing of IT jobs to india which has helped Indian economy. H1B visa holders are a tiny fraction of total Indian Engineers (any discipline) working in IT industry. Since late 1990s, Indians with Engineering degrees (be it civil or Metallurgical or Electrical) have joined various Indian (TCS, Infosys, Wipro) or IBM, Microsoft, Intel, HP, Dell. One can reduce visas but one cannot reduce the projects sent offshore.
