Tata says its workforce strategy won't be affected by PERM suspensions and is hiring 15,000 more workers
TCS says it will still hire 15,000 people in the US despite its suspension from a federal program used to sponsor foreign workers for green cards.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is maintaining its hiring plans in the US despite the Trump administration's freeze on employment-based green card filings. The company submitted only a small number of PERM applications over the past two years, according to a recent filing. TCS plans to hire an additional 15,000 workers in the US over the next five years to bolster its local workforce.
This announcement comes after Vice President JD Vance criticized the company for allegedly replacing American workers with lower-paid foreign labor. TCS is among several major tech companies, including Microsoft and Microsoft, that are experiencing scrutiny from the administration for their use of skilled-worker immigration programs.
