Tonight’s Opening Verse: Isaiah 53:3-4

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely, he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

Tonight’s STORIES:

Deep Dive: Graduating Into Second Place At UMass Amherst, Foreign Graduates Got Jobs at A Far Higher Rate Than American Citizens — and Federal Policy Is Why

Key Points from tonight’s Monologue/ Deep Dive:
    •    Disparate Employment Outcomes: At the University of Massachusetts Amherst (a top-10 public computer science program), for the Class of 2022 master’s in computer science:
    ◦    Only 60% of American citizens were working post-graduation.
    ◦    86% of foreign graduates secured CS-related jobs via STEM OPT.
    ◦    Unemployment was 23.5% for U.S. citizens vs. 6.7% for foreign graduates (overall class unemployment: 12%).
    •    Similar patterns appear at Boston University (2008–2022 data):
    ◦    Engineering: 69% of international master’s graduates got engineering jobs via STEM OPT.
    ◦    Computer science: 63% of international graduates landed CS jobs via OPT.
    •    Scale in Massachusetts: From 2008–2022, Massachusetts colleges added 55,042 foreign STEM OPT workers (including 19,049 in engineering and 16,563 in computer science/math). In 2022, OPT engineers made up 8.1% of the state’s total engineering workforce (5,420 out of 66,590 employed engineers).
    •    Corporate Practices and Discrimination: The author claims companies favor foreign talent for cost and compliance reasons, leading to “tribal hiring” (e.g., Indian-led teams expanding operations in India). A U.S. Department of Labor lawsuit against Oracle is cited: ~90% of recent college hires were Asian, achieved through targeted recruitment and bonuses that allegedly discriminated against qualified White, Hispanic, and African-American applicants.
    •    Not AI-Driven: Evidence from outsourcing hubs like India and the Philippines shows no AI-induced drop in demand for foreign workers. Examples include IBM growing job postings in India (from 173 to 3,866) while cutting in the U.S. and Europe.
