H-1B Applications Crash as Employers Prepare for Stricter Reforms

April, 18 2017
watermark Economic news

Tech employers are now applying for fewer H-1B visas for skilled workers this year as compared to last year after going down by 16% amid concerns that the Trump administration might be imposing additional restrictions to the implementation of the said program. Visa-looking employers for 2018 submitted only 199,000 applications, a drastic drop compared to last year’s filing of 236,000 applications. This particular visa program is the backbone of the US tech industry, as it allows tech firms to hire high-skilled workers for US-based tech jobs which they are currently having trouble filling up.
