Barriers grow for international students seeking U.S. jobs: The 'American dream ... is collapsing'
International graduates say a weak hiring market and changing immigration rules make it harder for them to achieve their American dream of working in the U.S.
TL;DR
- International graduates face significant hurdles in the U.S. job market, exacerbated by an unpredictable immigration environment.
- Job postings offering visa sponsorship have drastically decreased, particularly in the tech sector.
- Students are increasingly exploring job opportunities in their home countries or third countries due to these challenges.
- Changes in immigration policies, such as H-1B visa fee increases and proposed salary hikes, add further uncertainty for international workers.
- The decline in international graduates could have substantial economic consequences for the U.S., particularly in STEM fields.
