Foreign Students' Participation in U.S. Summer Jobs Faces Challenges
The participation of foreign students in U.S. summer jobs, facilitated by the J-1 visa program, may face challenges this year. Approximately 100,000 international students typically work in the U.S. during the summer, supporting small and seasonal businesses. However, shifting international dynamics and scrutiny of the U.S. immigration process could affect the number of applicants. Kasey Simon, president of United Work & Travel, noted a potential 5-10% decrease in supplemental participants.
