5. They would have to at some point in the hiring process

We’re not talking about day laborers here making a few bucks an hour under the table.

The sort of job this woman is applying for typically pays in the lower six figures. It’s not clear, but I’m assuming this woman also requires sponsorship to work here. Aside from a few companies like nvidia that can easily shell out $100k (they sent an email to employees stating they would), most obviously won’t.

Even a PhD in a STEM field isn’t imo enough of a reason by itself to justify a sponsorship when unemployment is rising.
