Of 5,787 US analyst postings live on realanalystjobs.com on 7 November 2026, 0 (0.0%) say they sponsor or will consider it, 0 (0.0%) say they will not, and 5,787 (100.0%) say nothing we can read. Silence is not a no: 37% of the silent postings are at employers with approved H-1B workers on the USCIS record.","scope":"5,787 US analyst postings (and 14,733 worldwide) live on realanalystjobs.com on 7 November 2026","sampleSize":5787,"computedOn":"2026-11-07","live":true,"license":{"name":"CC BY 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"},"citation":"Anil Kumar, RealAnalystJobs (7 November 2026). Visa sponsorship statements in analyst job postings by role, level and country, 7 November 2026. https://realanalystjobs.com/research/analyst-job-postings-visa-sponsorship-share","method":["Sample: every live posting on realanalystjobs.com on 7 November 2026, read from employers' own careers sites. Reposting sites (Jobgether and Weekday, 199 postings) and employer-posted listings (4) are left out. US means the location resolves to the United States: 5,787 postings.","Classifier: only sentences that mention sponsorship together with a visa, H-1B, immigration or work authorization term are read. A no statement (will not sponsor, must be authorized to work without sponsorship now or in the future, citizenship or clearance required) beats any yes. A yes needs an explicit statement (will sponsor, sponsorship available, will consider sponsoring, visa support offered). An offer limited to one level counts as says nothing for a title at that level and as will not for any other title. Anything unclear counts as says nothing.","The classifier was written from a hand-checked study of 1,128 US analyst postings on 7 October 2026 and is tested on fixture sentences by the board's own check (npm run visa:check).","Postings whose description could not be read count as says nothing, so says nothing is an upper bound and the yes and no shares are floors.","H-1B record: the employer has at least one approved H-1B petition in FY2023 to FY2026 on the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub, matched to the board's company names on 17 October 2026. It covers every occupation, not only analysts. A company added to the board after that day has no row yet, so the H-1B record share is a floor.","Every number is recomputed from the live board each time the page loads; the JSON download carries the same numbers."],"limitations":["It measures what postings say, not what employers do. A silent posting may still sponsor, and a yes is not a guarantee for every candidate.","One day's live postings on one board. It is a snapshot, not a trend.","Pattern classification can miss unusual wording. The design accepts a missed yes over a false yes.","The board reads a large set of company careers sites, but not every US employer."],"notMeasured":[{"metric":"Share of employers that actually sponsor for these roles","why":"A posting's words are not a hiring decision. The closest public evidence is past filings: the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub (approvals) and DOL LCA disclosure data (filings with wages), both shown on the board's company pages."},{"metric":"Change over time","why":"Closed postings are not archived, so there is no earlier population to compare with. The 7 October 2026 hand-checked study is a separate, smaller sample and not a baseline for a trend."}],"sources":[{"name":"realanalystjobs.com live board","url":"https://realanalystjobs.com/jobs","note":"Every live analyst posting on 7 November 2026 and what its text says about sponsorship."},{"name":"USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub","url":"https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/h-1b-employer-data-hub","note":"Approved H-1B petitions by employer, FY2023 to FY2026 (FY2026 partial), used for the H-1B record share."},{"name":"Handshake data reported by CNBC Make It","url":"https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/24/for-international-students-seeking-us-jobs-the-american-dream-is-collapsing.html","note":"The 2.6% all-occupation figure we compare with, published 24 May 2026."}],"tables":[{"caption":"What 5,787 US analyst postings say about visa sponsorship","columns":["What the posting says","Postings","Share"],"rows":[["Sponsors, or will consider sponsoring","0","0.0%"],["Will not sponsor, or you must be authorized to work without sponsorship","0","0.0%"],["Nothing we can read with confidence","5,787","100.0%"],["Total","5,787","100%"]]},{"caption":"US analyst postings by role family","columns":["Role family","Postings","Say they sponsor","Say they will not","Say nothing"],"rows":[["Financial Analyst","777","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Business Analyst","674","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Data Analyst","535","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Operations Analyst","235","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Supply Chain Analyst","96","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Product Analyst","95","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Risk Analyst","95","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Business Intelligence Analyst","85","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Marketing Analyst","54","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Other analyst titles","3,141","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"]],"note":"Role families use the same title rules as the /h1b-sponsors pages; a title matching none is in Other analyst titles."},{"caption":"US analyst postings by seniority","columns":["Seniority","Postings","Say they sponsor","Say they will not","Say nothing"],"rows":[["Entry Level","842","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Mid Level","1,792","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Senior","388","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Lead / Staff","676","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"],["Not Specified","2,089","0.0%","0.0%","100.0%"]],"note":"Seniority is the board's level tag, read from the title and the posting.
