Adam Ozimek argues that awarding visas to firms willing to pay most for workers does not necessarily select the highest-skilled individuals.
He adds that using an age-adjusted wage ranking approach is more likely to maximize total economic spillovers when compared with a $100k fee-based system.
Ozimek has previously highlighted negative outcomes tied to trade policy, citing financial losses and a declining share price following recent tariffs. In a separate post, he observed that the trade deficit remains high while tariff revenues trend negative. His recent comments on visa selection systems come amid continued scrutiny of policy effectiveness.
