| Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. (11,000 jobs), Amazon (10,000),
| and Twitter (3,700) are responsible for the biggest layoffs in the
| tech sector in recent weeks. Other tech firms have also announced
| downsizing plans, including Stripe Inc., Lyft Inc., Shopify Inc.,
| Coinbase Global Inc., Microsoft Corp., and Netflix Inc.
|
| While it's not clear how many of those layoffs will include foreign
| workers on temporary visas, H-1Bs are especially popular in the tech
| industry. Computer-related occupations accounted for nearly 70% of
| approved H-1B recipients in fiscal year 2021, according to
| statistics from US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
