You can download the FY 2006 LCA data as an Access database from the DOL website here. For LCA searches, a more convenient option is to search at H1b.info: http://beta.h1b.info/lca_search.php If prior years are an indication, DOL will not release the FY 2007 until after the jobs are filled with H-1b workers in October 2007. We would not want any Americans taking these jobs that the U.S. Goverment has reserved for foreign workers.
"Silly Americans, U.S. tech jobs are for Indians."

H-1b's aren't the only problem, my friends.
IBM is offshoring their own jobs (is that "outsourcing" - they call it Global Restructuring) to a couple of South American countries with existing IBM infrastructure.
These are similar technical jobs to programming - but I consider them one level lower on the technical/expertise scale.
Most of these are jobs that pay $50-100K+ in the states. Lord knows what IBM is paying CONTRACTORS in South America to do the same work.
There is rumored to be a couple thousand employees at IBM's Brazil site now. This will move close to 10,000 next year.
The writing is on the wall both here and abroad.
