unseen presence in job market 4170

Good website; thanks for bringing this to the attention of readers such as myself who hand't been aware of the site.

Plugged in my most recent employer; there are hundreds of foreign workers (no surprise, I was one of very few Americans in the software development section of the office).

Plugged in my state in the programmer category. The search stopped at 500 records, all companies starting with "A", only up to Ar... Many of the listings had multiple foreigners (up to 30). There were hundreds of listings just for Amdocs, an Israeli company whose official website always says no jobs available when I visit their site. Of course they say no jobs are available; they secretly hire foreigners without making the available positions known to the public.

Most of the companies seem to be recruiting firms (a.k.a. headhunters, pimps, middlepeople, etc). As in your case, I hadn't heard of many names of recruiting companies. If you plug in a real company, the number of foreigners you see could be just the tip of the iceberg, because the company probably goes with recruiters.

Another reason there are even more listings than shown for an individual search: the entries have quite a few spelling errors for company name, city, etc.

One thing is certain: the database is ENORMOUS to hold all the records of foreigners, because the US government and companies let in countless millions of foreigners to take jobs from perfectly qualified Americans.
