2023 H-1B Market Analysis
The year 2023 brought significant changes to the H-1B landscape, with the tech industry experiencing widespread layoffs while other sectors maintained strong demand for international talent. Despite layoff headlines, overall H-1B filing volumes remained robust as companies outside of Big Tech increased their sponsorship. Healthcare, finance, and consulting firms stepped up their H-1B programs to fill persistent talent gaps.
H-1B salary trends in 2023 showed divergence across sectors. Technology companies that continued to hire maintained premium compensation, while some employers facing less competition moderated their salary offers. The overall average H-1B salary continued to grow, however, reflecting the prevailing wage increases implemented by the Department of Labor and continued demand for specialized skills.
The USCIS implemented new measures to combat fraud in the H-1B lottery system, including enhanced verification procedures and penalties for multiple or fraudulent registrations. These changes aimed to ensure that the limited visa slots went to legitimate employer-employee relationships, improving the program's integrity.
