What happened

Why it matters
The proposed salary change could tighten hiring requirements for companies that rely on foreign professionals. The ban on Cloudera's sponsorship restricts its talent acquisition and operational capacity.
Discussions regarding H-1B visa policy, including imposed fees and the suspension of green card routes, are currently featured in the Ohio governor's race.
