Hello Community Members,
A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here.
This challenge was submitted by Yash Thakkar. We appreciate your contribution @yash_thakkar!
Some months mark pivotal moments for students and job seekers worldwide, especially when exploring the H-1B job market. The H-1B visa program allows US employers to temporarily hire foreign workers in specialty occupations requiring a combination of highly specialized knowledge and a bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field, or its equivalent.
The dataset provided includes fiscal year 2024 data on employers who have submitted petitions to employ H-1B workers.
Your tasks are:
- Identify the top 10 companies that submitted the most H-1B petitions in 2024.
- Determine the top 10 industries with the highest demand (number of total petitions submitted) for H-1B workers in 2024.
Hints:
- Exclude companies with missing industry data (Industry (NAICS) Code).
- Focus only on approved petitions as follows:
- Initial Approval (first-time H-1B employment)
- Continuing Approval (extensions or changes for existing H-1B employees)
Happy solving!
