H-1B DATA MEGA-THREAD 🧵

I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data.

I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I'm now extremely skeptical of how this program works.

Here's what I found 👇

Before I start, one note: ••All charts in this thread are for applications that were “certified” (in other words, approved for entry into the H-1B lottery)== I filtered out applications the gov rejected.

All numbers here are therefore for visas employers actually and realistically attempted to obtain.

Who uses the H1B program most aggressively — Indian tech companies based in USA, who are importing Indian tech workers en masse.
