"Even foreign workers already in the US are having second thoughts about living in a country that's officially hostile to anyone who's not of European descent. A recent report from Specialist Staffing Group found that 32% of US-based STEM pros said they were open to relocation. That's bad news for US companies, which are already seeing projects delayed or disrupted."
"Major tech firms, including Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, have reportedly urged overseas staff to return to the US quickly while simultaneously warning them to limit dependents' travel. At the same time, all these top tech companies, and many more, have been laying people off. Even if you can trace your ancestry back to the Mayflower, we're living in a time of tech job insecurity."
Large numbers of foreign STEM professionals in the US are considering relocation, with 32% saying they are open to moving abroad. US companies are experiencing project delays and disruptions as talent contemplates leaving. Major tech firms have urged overseas employees to return while advising limits on dependents' travel, even as widespread layoffs heighten sector-wide job insecurity. Competing tech hubs in Canada, Europe, and parts of Asia are actively marketing fast-track visas and remote-work-friendly policies to attract engineers, founders, and researchers who now view the US as increasingly difficult and uncertain.
