He estimated he spent around | $8,000 on legal and administrative costs tied to his submission. | | All the while, Mittal said he's applied for about 110 jobs to no | avail. He attributed the dearth of success to employers' reluctance | or inability to sponsor visa holders. Does Julie Su's DoL.GOV see signs that the techie labor market favors American workers or the Cheap Labor Lobby and will Trump nominate Eugene Scalia to succeed her?
