These companies have a demonstrated track record for having no qualms about bald-face lying. Suddenly we'll have an influx of "private sector researchers" to cover those tech jobs.

I was more referring to things like... a horticulturist. https://h1bdata.info/index.php?em=&job=horticulturist&city=&...

Elsewhere in DOL, there's a definition of computer professional.

https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/17e-overtime-co...

    The employee's primary duty must consist of:
    The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications;
    The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications;
    The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or
    A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills.
If the job definition is covered in that, then it would be classified that way.

Or if the job is classified by the BLS as 15-0000 ( https://www.bls.gov/oes/2025/may/oes_stru.htm#15-0000 )

All this still requires proper funding of the Department of Labor and its ability to investigate H-1B-dependent employers.
