WASHINGTON, D.C., UNITED STATES — At least 93% of companies in the United States anticipate turning to nearshoring or offshoring due to immigration restrictions, according to a survey by Envoy Global.

Envoy Global, a global immigration services provider, gathered insights from more than 500 Human Resources (HR) professionals specializing in corporate immigration and global mobility for firms across the U.S. 

The survey found a high percentage of employers already benefitting from outsourcing. It says 86% of companies hired staff outside the U.S. for positions that were initially meant to be based in the country due to visa-related hurdles.

The surveyed companies shared they also relocated employees to Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia.
