I have some familiarity with the "job shops" that hire a lot of H-1Bs, they do advertise for jobs in the US but I will say that the basic business model is something like "charge the customer $120 an hour and pay somebody $35 an hour to do the work" (Now there is some overhead, so this is not as bad as it sounds, but it is pretty bad.)

One thing that is fairly shocking is the low pay rates for people with skills that are unusual and high demand, I can only imagine they are throwing huge numbers of freshers at the problems.
