The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Facebook, accusing the company of reserving over 2,600 high-paying jobs for foreign workers with temporary work visas instead of hiring US residents.
The lawsuit alleges that Facebook did not adequately advertise the positions before hiring foreign workers.
Trump administration officials have said they would stop foreign workers from taking jobs away from Americans.
The government blocked foreign H-1B holders from entering the country in June and proposed restrictions on H-1B visas in October.
Tech companies like Facebook largely hire skilled foreign workers and have pushed back on Trump’s H-1B restrictions as being harmful to the US economy.

Five Jobs In Tech For Women Who Don’t Want To Code

[email protected]_84 November 30, 2020

By: Dayana Mayfield

If you’re a woman who wants to learn how to code, please do. We need you. But if you don’t want to code, there are still plenty of ways to work in the future-proof tech industry.

Thankfully, there are organizations working hard to change the fact that there’s only one woman software engineer for every five men. Black Girls Code, Women Who Code, Girls Who Code, and many other nonprofit groups are ensuring that more females will enter the fields of computer science, robotics, and software engineering.

Still, there are plenty of women who don’t want to learn to code at the skill level required to make it those professions. Part of the gender gap in tech is due to the fact that many people equate a career in tech with highly technical skills. Women

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought the world down to its knees. From taking lives of millions to impacting livelihoods of billions, this invisible virus has affected in some or the other way each and every human existing on this planet. Economy-wise, the virus seems to have reversed time as the GDP graph of most of the countries headed south. Multiple businesses/shops were forced to pack their bags, as the world gradually passed through this tumultuous time.

The fear of unemployment hung like a sword of damocles on every adult as companies—to stay afloat and continue their operations—started letting go of their employees. Thousands and thousands stared at a bleak future as getting a job during this turmoil was a far fetched imagination. According to a CMIE report in April, around 121 million Indians

[email protected]_84 November 30, 2020

The future of jobs is emerging as an inescapable, persisting issue in national and international discourse in a transforming world, triggered by the induction of latest technologies, spurred by the covid-19-related crisis, and preceded by a fragile recovery from the global recession.

A discourse on a report on the ‘Future of Jobs ’ that includes a chapter on Pakistan for the first time, prepared by the World Economic Forum (WEF), was organised on November 19 in Karachi.

It was attended by top corporate executives and the special advisor on human resource development Sayed Zulfikar Abbas Bukhari.

Two days earlier an extraordinary comprehensive study on ‘The Work of the Future: Better Jobs in an Age of Intelligent Machines’ was released to the US news media by a distinguished group of researchers of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Apple still lives off Steve Jobs technology: Founder of Telegram

[email protected]_84 November 21, 2020

The new iPhone 12 Pro was harshly criticized and described as an “incredibly clumsy piece of ‘hardware’” by Russian businessman Pàvel Dúrov , founder of the Telegram messaging service on his blog .

According to Dúrov, this model of mobile device lacks originality and innovation, since it consists of wide bezels and a ‘notch tab’ that “creates a low ratio between body and screen and an overall outdated feel for the device”.

Nowadays, the trend for smartphone manufacturers is to design smartphones in such a way that the outer bezels occupy the least amount of front space on the device, creating a perspective of an ever-larger screen.

Forests support jobs and encourage biodiversity, but face threats

[email protected]_84 November 20, 2020

Forests are beautiful, home to a diverse range of wildlife, and play an important role when it comes to looking after the world we live in.

Much like their appearance, the benefits of forests are multi-layered.

According to a recent report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N. (FAO), forests “supply water, provide livelihoods, mitigate climate change and are essential for sustainable food production.”

All is not well, however. The State of the World’s Forests 2020 report says that both forest degradation and deforestation “continue to take place at alarming rates.”

And while the FAO states that the rate of deforestation has actually fallen across the last three decades, it also notes that an estimated 420 million hectares “have been lost through conversion to other land uses” since 1990.

Against this backdrop, a range of organizations are attempting to promote the sustainable management of forests.

These include France-based

Report outlines route toward better jobs, wider prosperity

[email protected]_84 November 19, 2020

Decades of technological change have polarized the earnings of the American workforce, helping highly educated white-collar workers thrive, while hollowing out the middle class. Yet present-day advances like robots and artificial intelligence do not spell doom for middle-tier or lower-wage workers, since innovations create jobs as well. With better policies in place, more people could enjoy good careers even as new tech transforms workplaces.

That’s the conclusion of the final report from MIT’s Task Force on the Work of the Future, which summarizes over two years of research on technology and jobs. The report, “The Work of the Future: Building Better Jobs in an Age of Intelligent Machines,” has been released today, and the task force is hosting an online conference on Wednesday, the “AI & the Future of Work Congress.”

• Jason Richwine, a writer who floats around right-wing think tanks and websites arguing that Black and Hispanic people are genetically inferior to whites, has been hired as “deputy undersecretary of commerce for standards and technology.” That’s according to reporting by Science Insider, which notes that Richwine is infamous for suggesting that immigrants should be screened with IQ tests. He has no apparent experience that would qualify him for a job involving science and technology—but he did, however, once contribute to a journal founded by Richard Spencer!

While earning a college degree, Tennessee Tech students can cultivate the skills of innovators and entrepreneurs through programs honing their fresh energy and ideas.

Similar to reality television think tanks, Eagle Works is a competition where undergraduate and graduate students pitch their innovative ideas to a panel of judges for a chance to win a portion of almost
