When Trump’s administration proposed the $100K visa fee, it was sold as a way to “protect American jobs.” In reality, it did something entirely different: it protected Big Tech’s margins while obliterating the economics of consulting. Here’s why: Tech companies like Meta, Apple, and Google generate millions in revenue per employee. Consulting firms like TCS, Deloitte, and Cognizant rely on volume — not efficiency. When both pay the same $100K per visa, that cost is a rounding error for Meta… and a death sentence for TCS.

New research from Anthropic’s Economic Index, using one million real Claude. ai conversations, just revealed who’s actually tapping the power of large language models and it’s not just coders. 37% of prompts come from computer & mathematical jobs—but look closer, and you’ll find copywriters, editors, educators, scientists, and business pros all finding ways to accelerate, create, and problem-solve with AI. This chart breaks it down, using task-level mapping across 20,000 categories in O*NET. Why? Because AI is now used for everything from debugging code to drafting essays, tutoring, editing, and running statistical analyses.
