NOTE: this trend is derived from a case study on a single company’s job listings, and by no means speaks for the entire market.
I personally ran analysis on tech / software related positions from ‘2026-01-12’ to ‘2026-03-01’ listed on databricks and discovered that my dataset showed 162 of 320 (50.625%) total positions listed were posted with a work location in the United States.
TODAY only 26 of the 123 positions (21.13%) actively listed are located in the US. A 29 point decline is notable, and likely a signal that Trump’s $100,00 h1b visa hike is not working as expected.
TLDR: republicans expected visa changes to result in more Americans in our leading tech sector, but its quite literally doing the opposite: The companies are divorcing America.
