Former Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Alan Greenspan offers a solution to the U.S. housing slump that's hit markets such as Phoenix, Southern California, Miami and Las Vegas particularly hard Allow more skilled foreign workers into the U.S. <br />
<br />
Greenspan told The Wall Street Journal Thursday the U.S. should expand its H-1B Visa program for skilled foreign workers. Technology firms and other U.S. employers say they need foreign engineers, scientists, fashion models and technical workers to fill jobs. <br />
<br />
Greenspan told the Journal such workers would help absorb housing vacancies and boost slow sales. <br />
<br />
H1-B Visas are capped at 78,200 annually including foreign workers and foreign graduate students. They are quickly gobbled up each year by U.S. employers. <br />
<br />
Greenpan's comments sparked criticism from skeptics of the H-1B program, such as Bright Future Jobs. The Chicago-based group says U.S. corporations use the Visa program to hire foreign workers who will work for less than their domestic counterparts. A host of U.S. companies including Microsoft Inc. and Google Inc. have pushed for the H-1B caps to be lifted or expanded saying they need foreign workers to fill skilled posts and stay competitive. <br />
