    1. 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.

    2. 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).

    3. Kumquat_of_Pain on

      Total population of those 5 states is 105 million. Is population is 342 million. 

      So per capita these are about 30% of the total population of the US.

    4. 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.

    5. 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.

    6. 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.

    7. I think is should be mandatory in this group to use per capita if dealing with people counts

    8. 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.

    9. 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.
