## Resource

International graduates face a challenging job market in the U.S., with tighter labor conditions and fewer opportunities. STEM fields, once in high demand, now struggle to secure offers. The nonprofit sector is also affected, with layoffs impacting those seeking employment. Temporary work authorizations and visa sponsorship fears further limit prospects. The immigration landscape adds complexity, with pauses in programs like OPT leaving students uncertain. This situation has eroded confidence, leading to a drop in F-1 visas issued and potential economic consequences, particularly in STEM fields.
