Analyst role is the title page each posting is listed on; a posting that fits two is listed once. H-1B counts are employer-wide, for every occupation (USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub, as of 2026-06-30). No USCIS match means we could not tie the company to a USCIS name, not that it never sponsors. Live roles as of 6 November 2026. E-Verify: Enrolled means the employer is enrolled per E-Verify's public employer list as of 6 November 2026; we matched it by name. Employers choose which hiring sites use E-Verify, so confirm with the employer that the site you would join is enrolled, and check the company's E-Verify number on your Form I-983. No data means we could not match the employer, not that it is not enrolled. [Search E-Verify's employer list](https://www.e-verify.gov/e-verify-employer-search). ## Using this list on OPT and STEM OPT - OPT is work authorization of its own, so an employer does not have to sponsor you to hire you on it. The role should relate to your degree field. - The STEM OPT extension needs an employer enrolled in E-Verify that signs a training plan with you (Form I-983). The E-Verify column shows enrolment where we could match the employer to E-Verify's public employer list; confirm with the employer that the site you would join is enrolled before you accept. - An H-1B record shows the company has filed for new workers before. It is employer-wide history, not a promise for this role. - Where a posting says it will not sponsor, believe the posting: the job would likely end with your OPT. - Universities, their affiliated nonprofits and nonprofit research organizations are cap-exempt: they can file an H-1B at any time of year, with no lottery. - Other employers enter the H-1B lottery, which registers in March for jobs starting on 1 October, so the sponsorship talk usually comes in your first months on OPT. - Ask about sponsorship once you are talking to the team, and answer the application's work authorization question honestly. ## Where the numbers come from Roles are read from the employers' own career pages and re-checked daily; a role that comes down at the source leaves this list at the next sync. Of the 2,425 US analyst roles open on 6 November 2026, 241 are entry level, and 24 of those are on this page. H-1B counts come from the [USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub](https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/h-1b-employer-data-hub) (data as of 2026-06-30), matched by company name. What a posting says about sponsorship is read from its own text. E-Verify enrolment comes from [E-Verify's public employer list](https://www.e-verify.gov/e-verify-employer-search) (as of 6 November 2026), matched by company name; employers choose which hiring sites use it. Reposting sites are left out. Nothing is estimated. ## Frequently asked ### Can OPT students apply for analyst jobs in California? Yes.
