Or the map of where head quarters and large campuses are for sectors that use H1B because talent doesnt exist in US despite what many claim it does.

Well in fairness those states have about a third of the U.S. population

Now do total number of jobs of same companies in each state. You will have your answer.

It is lopsided, but also worth noting these states have ~32% of the population (a more accurate metric on the 32% would be to get the civilian participation rate from each state multiplied by the pop of the state, compared to the country total civ part of 62% – 210m).

I’m pretty sure those five states make up like 70% of the United States GDP

I think it goes hand in hand with distribution of tech jobs in US.

Half of all America’s jobs are in the same 5 states.

Total population of those 5 states is 105 million. Is population is 342 million.Â
So per capita these are about 30% of the total population of the US.

We need per capita. Right now all we see is a the 5 states with the most jobs

Obviously?
California, Texas, New York are the 3 most populous states. New Jersey has an oversized share from people living in New Jersey and working in NYC.
Washington is here because of an oversized tech presence in the city with Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing.

In NY/NJ that percentage is concentrated in a thin belt going from NYC to Philadelphia, spread through both tech and bio tech/pharmaceutical jobs.

It’s where Fortune 500 companies are located. H1-B aren’t used by smaller companies. Only large companies have lawyer teams to get these done.

Wow what a genius graph – they should’ve hired you instead of the h1b
HardTacoKit on
Well, yeah, they are the biggest population states. Shocking.

not surprised as a lot of tech jobs. One kicker about tech jobs is it is one of the fields that slaries on the job is high enough to not have to prove they tried to fine someone who does not require a visa first. It was funny as they always paid them just over that cap….. BTW I make more than they do so they were not even paying competitive wages.

About 100 M people live in those states. Its not that abnormal as not all industries are located equally across a country. This is not surprising at all.
