SAN FRANCISCO — Companies that want to fill positions with non-U.S. workers on H-1B visas will end up having to pay them more — and they're likely need to be better educated in general — under a new executive order signed by President Trump on Tuesday, potentially making the business model of tech outsourcing firms less viable.
The executive order is very light on details but one crucial phrase could signal its intent. Government agencies are to suggest reforms that ensure H-1B visas go to the "most-skilled or highest-paid."
"Right now, H-1B visas are awarded in a totally random lottery, and that's wrong," Trump said at the signing ceremony at Snap-On Tools in Kenosha, Wis.
How that might be implemented is not addressed in the order. Options might include moving from the current lottery model to something more like an auction, said experts.

While profits are expected to remain strong, the outlook for the rest of the year is expected to take into account the impact of tariffs on global trade. This is likely to weigh on investor sentiment. According to a report from real estate giant REIS Inc., mall vacancies have hit a six-year high at 8.6% last quarter. The fall of brick-and-mortar stores has been fueled by the rise of Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN), which continues to see its stock surge to new highs. It's not too late to get in on Amazon at a fraction of the cost of today's shares. We'll show you how… right here.

This purchase has many analysts convinced that Amazon is about to do to pharmacies what it has done to malls over the last decade.
