The BLS’s employment statistics for 2025 are finally out.
The good news is that between May 2024 and May 2025 the U.S. gained 41,060 computer jobs. The bad news is that in 2025 the U.S. imported 52,938 workers for computer jobs on H-1B visas alone. Even more foreign computer workers come under an alphabet soup of other work programs (e.g., OPT, L, E, TN).
If you have wondered why your kid who just graduated with a degree in computer science cannot find a job, this may be your answer.
The U.S. imports enough foreign workers to fill every computer job it creates.
