Who really powers America’s tech and skilled jobs pipeline?
The H1-B visa is the gateway to America’s high-skilled jobs, and the numbers tell the story: India dominates with 73% of approvals, while China and the rest of the world shrink. Nigeria is surging, with approvals climbing from under 200 in 2021 to nearly 900 in 2024. Most H1-Bs go into tech (65%), with giants like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Infosys leading hires. Behind the statistics lies a clear picture, global talent pipelines are being reshaped, and the U.S. tech industry is the biggest magnet.
These numbers reveal where the world’s brightest minds are coming from and which companies are snapping them up.
