According to this news piece, around 40% (80K out of 200K laid off in US) were on temporary work visas (H1B and L1): https://www.livemint.com/money/nearly-80-000-indian-it-professionals-on-h-1b-and-l1-visas-now-jobless-scrambling-for-options-to-stay-in-the-us-11674456043653.html Doesn't give a source though, just says "per some industry insiders": "According to The Washington Post, nearly 200,000 IT workers have been laid off since November last year, including some record numbers in companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon." ... "As per some industry insiders, between 30 to 40 per cent of them are Indian IT professionals, a significant number of whom are on H-1B and L1 visas."

Exactly the employer will never divulge that information. Personally from people who got laid off none of 8 folks I know are on temp visa.
Does it match the percentage of people employed on work visa?
I thought majority of engineers are on visa
Maybe 200k also includes other roles
Industry Insiders LMAO, ducking lazy reporting
More housing inventory?
They can find next job easily
Is the number not 50% becoz of recruiters?
âIndustry Expertâ was their WhatsApp group.
Recruiters don't get H1b visa
Bro.. how do they know 40% is workvisa ? No one has concrete info and they are just adding the oil in the fire.
I guess all the news outlets reporting about Disney firing employees and outsourcing jobs should also report this, just to be impartial đ€š
