Hundreds of workers qualify for the position, but H-1B status does not require the showing of the unavailability of lawful U.S. workers. The INS approved his change of status for a period of three years. He may later extend that for an additional three years for a total of six years. Even if you have a degree, you cannot get an H-1B visa if the job does not require a degree. Some professional positions almost always require a bachelors' degree or higher.
Examples are school teacher, college or university professor, engineer, and architect.
Some positions are not so obvious. The position of manager of a small shoe store would not normally require a specific bachelors' degree. So, you would have great difficulty getting H-1B status to be a shoe store manager. The position of accountant would usually require a degree in accounting and would support an application for H-1B status. Take the example of a small manufacturing company that employs a secretary, a sales representative, a buyer, a manager and an engineer.
