A recent Newsweek report has revealed that some of the world’s largest corporations have significantly expanded their use of H-1B visas in 2025, underscoring how vital foreign talent remains to the U.S. economy.
Leading the list is Amazon, which continues to rely heavily on skilled international workers to power its vast e-commerce, logistics, and technology operations.
Financial giant JPMorgan Chase also saw an uptick, highlighting Wall Street’s dependence on global expertise in finance, risk management, and emerging fintech solutions.
In the technology sector, Microsoft, Apple, and Meta were among the top recruiters of H-1B professionals, tapping into overseas talent pools for artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and product innovation.
Cisco Systems also recorded a notable increase, reflecting its ongoing push into cybersecurity and network solutions.
Among Indian IT majors, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) continued to rank prominently, expanding its U.S. presence and reinforcing its position as one of the largest beneficiaries of the H-1B program.
Payment solutions giant Visa and Amazon Web Services (AWS) also ramped up their intake, underscoring the program’s importance across both fintech and cloud infrastructure sectors.
Interestingly, even companies outside the traditional tech and finance space are leaning more on H-1B visas.
General Motors, a key player in the U.S. automotive industry, made the list, reflecting Detroit’s shift toward electric vehicles and smart car technologies that demand specialized global expertise.
The surge in H-1B hiring across these corporations comes at a time when U.S. immigration rules are under intense political debate.
Still, the 2025 trend shows that for many of America’s most influential companies, foreign talent remains indispensable to innovation and competitiveness on the world stage.
