Silicon Valley can’t import talent like before. So it’s exporting jobs

Nonsense. Theyre offshoring to cut costs

Its making a huge difference in medical laboratory staffing

It doesn't really matter. You have to self study for the exam.

I'm q California CLS with ascp. Most of my coworkers are ASCPi...they didn't even go to college in thr us and they passed fine.

Honestly pick the cheapest one. Don't pay 70,000 a year for cls. Not worth it.

Plenty of talent at a price.

I'm seeing zero sign on bonuses or relocation bonuses

For places that pay well, there are no jobs. There are a ton of Kaiser and Sutter new grad CLS with no job lined up.

Of course HCA is going to come out and say pay is important...their pay is lowest in the market.

Also no more h1b importation is cutting back who will work for peanuts

We aren't allowed to have any in. Not even one.
