Marketplace Morning Report ·

2025/09/30

The Trump administration’s new $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas for foreign workers threatens to upend hiring in tech. But the fee goes far beyond just that industry.

The Trump administration is working to tamp down alarm over a new, $100,000 visa fee it announced on Friday.
