And now we reach the present. The American job market has contracted in the last two years. There are many macroeconomic and political reasons for this, and it will get worse before it gets better. See, the jobless rate has increased, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported, to a level of 4.2 percent in mid-1925. For the third month in succession. The number of newly graduated international graduates has increased, especially in the service industries and education and health sectors, which normally take in a lot of foreign graduates. But they too are reporting recruitment delays.

A complex of motives, economic, political and governmental, were the cause of the great reduction in the number of foreign students admitted to American universities in the year 2025. After a post-pandemic boom. The American economy, a period of post-panemic recovery, now has to deal with the problem of inflation, changes in immigration policy and the need for greater domestic hiring. Come to think of it, the result of these changes, as witnessed by Indian students, is that the vacancies in many fields have evaporated. Thing is, those sectors that have traditionally been open to foreign students are now closing.
The main causes of this slowdown are:
- Job growth slowed down, from 73 thousand jobs in July this year to 73 thousand by June 2026.
- Reduced numbers of F-1 visas issued and more selective approval of work permits.
- Reduced hiring and reduction in the public payroll;
- Competition for positions of apprenticeship and first employment is.
- Political and economic uncertainty will make businesses prefer American citizens.
In the earlier stages of the recruitment process, the students are finding it harder to secure internships and jobs. Job offers from the US have been delayed, and the numbers of student visas that are being rejected has also risen. In this environment it’s important for Indians to be self-reliant, flexible and work hard on their careers in the US.
🎯 Important: Global Exposure & Practical Experience
