US to cut number of green cards by up to 2.4 million: What it means for jobs and career growth
The US is set to issue up to 2.4 million fewer green cards by the end of President Trump’s second term, according to the NFAP. The largest reductions will affect immediate relatives of US citizens, refugees, and diversity visa recipients. Experts told Newsweek this could create talent shortages in tech, healthcare, and research sectors, delaying projects and slowing innovation. Employers, universities, and skilled immigrants may face long-term career and workforce challenges under these restrictive policies.
