This is a wild stat:
UMass Amherst MSCS Outcomes (2022)
•Only 60% of U.S. citizen graduates were working in any capacity after graduation
•23.5% unemployment rate for American graduates
In contrast:
•86% of international graduates obtained jobs in their field
•6.7% unemployment rate for international students
Same program
Same degree
So why are outcomes this different?
•International students heavily use OPT (work authorization) after graduation
•That creates a direct hiring pathway tied to visa status
•U.S. citizens compete in the open market without that structure
