Will the travel ban create job opportunities? Seems to me that some of those workers on H1B Visas may get fed up with all the travel hassles and find jobs in other countries, creating skilled job openings in the USA. May be a good chance for Aspies who can jump into a job and figure out what to do without being trained by the guy who used to do it. That obviously isn't possible if he can't get back into the country.

An example of someone who was denied of visa.

I'm all in favor of American companies hiring Americans to do jobs in America.
Here's hoping more of that happens.
I wish you the best of success.

Yeah they'll come here to the UK lol. Given the ban is only temporary I doubt it'll have much long-term effect.

It's temporary, only for a few months.

As the story I cited indicates, the effect on jobs can actually be a lot more than temporary. If you are lucky enough to get a job created by the Travel Ban, they aren't going to fire you just because the ban ended. For one, you would have an excellent legal case.
