Unemployment Rate for Computer Occupations Fell In May

The Trump organization would like to utilize the economical fallout from the coronavirus pandemic to force new immigration limitations on H-1B visa holders and worldwide students, yet the truth is undermining its case.

The unemployment rate for people in computer occupations declined from 3% in January 2020 (preceding the pandemic spread in the U.S.) to 2.8% in April 2020, and fell again to 2.5% in May 2020, as indicated by an examination of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Current Population Survey by the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP). The unemployment rate in computer occupations have been steady and, actually, falling.

The 2.5% unemployment rate in May 2020 for people in computer occupations are altogether lower than the 13.5% unemployment rate for every single other occupation. That implies new immigration limitations based on a declaration that the economic fallout from the coronavirus has unnecessarily hurt people in computer occupations would be without a factual base, as per the NFAP investigation.

The financial effect of the coronavirus on people in computer occupations have taken on more centrality because April 22, 2020, presidential proclamation suspended the entry of most new migrants and announced the reason behind the declaration to be that "we should be aware of the effect of outside employees on the United States labor market, especially in a situation of high domestic unemployment and depressed demand for workers."
