The Three Stats to Know This Academic Year (replay)

A 58-minute recorded webinar for college career-services staff and advisers, run by Jobscan with Jeremy Schifeling of The Job Insiders, on three labour-market numbers worth building this year's student advising around — including hiring data and H-1B sponsorship patterns.

Why I recommend it: Free to watch with no sign-up, recorded live on 22 September 2026. Be straight with yourself about what it is: a raw, unedited replay shared on a private Descript link by the host, which means it can be taken down at any time, and it is a webinar run by a company that sells resume-scanning software, so expect the product to appear. I could not read the full transcript, so I am not repeating the three figures here — watch it and check each number against its named source before you quote it to a student. Jeremy Schifeling also published a free H-1B sponsor-finder tool alongside the event.
