Layoffs vs H-1B sponsorship

A side-by-side view of public layoff notices and H-1B sponsorship at the same employers. This comparison raises questions; it does not establish cause.

How to read this responsibly
The most important caveat on this page: a company can lay off workers in one division and sponsor H-1B workers in another, in different roles, cities, and years. WARN notices say nothing about who was hired afterward. Do not read these bars as replacement. Read the full methodology →

How to read this responsibly

  • Layoffs and sponsorship are reported on different calendars (calendar year vs fiscal year).
  • H-1B approvals include both new and continuing workers already in their roles.
  • No dataset here records whether a laid-off worker was replaced, or by whom.
  • Correlation in these bars is not causation. Treat it as a prompt for questions, not a verdict.
