Despite overall immigration slowdowns, 200,000 skilled immigrants joined the U.S. workforce in 2024—the highest in 20 years. Over 60% were international students staying after graduation, fueling tech, AI, finance, and healthcare sectors.

Skilled immigrants make up 5% of the population but generate 10% of labor income and 25% of patent value, driving innovation and economic growth.

Barclays warns that tightening visa programs could threaten this vital talent pipeline.
