Why 2003: The Data Behind One Story, and a Paper Trail of Federal Findings
2003 was the year I stopped being able to find work in my own field. That’s a personal claim, not a data point — so this report keeps the two separate. What BLS’s own numbers show: women’s labor force participation peaked in April 2000 and, as of August 2026, sits below where it was in 1990. The H-1B cap was tripled to 195,000 a year right as the dot-com bust hit U.S. tech workers, and GAO itself was flagging the tracking gap in a report published in September 2003. And from a $34 million DOJ settlement with Infosys in 2013 through a $3.2 million one with OpenAI in August 2026 — plus an ongoing federal jury finding against Cognizant and an active caste-discrimination case against Cisco — the paper trail of companies found to have preferred visa holders over Americans keeps growing.
The State Calls It Staff Aug. We Mapped It Against H-1B Filings.
Texas agencies buy the same IT-staffing program under dozens of different contract labels ITSAC, Staff Aug, FY26AUGR, Temporary Personnel Services which means a keyword search for ITSAC alone misses most of the market. We built a synonym-based match across every label, found 414 active statewide staffing-vendor relationships across 62 agencies, and cross-referenced all of them against federal H-1B sponsorship data.
122 vendors are also H-1B sponsors. Nine have H-1B sponsorship that is 100 percent concentrated in Texas. We independently verified two of their certified workers filed worksite addresses against public government-building directories they are state agency headquarters.
$44 Million In Texas Contracts. Zero H-1B Filings.
Bansar Technologies own HUB Subcontracting Plan names 23 IT-staffing subcontractors and exactly how much of a Texas state contract each one gets. We ran all 23 against a decade of federal visa-sponsorship data. The HUB credit and the actual H-1B labor go to almost entirely different companies — and one HUB subcontractor with no visa footprint turns out to be running $44 million of its own, completely separate Texas state business.
The Vendor Changes. The Worker Doesn’t.
We found three named individuals who kept working the exact same Texas state agency role after the company billing for their time changed — not subcontracting, but vendor succession: a new, separate state contract awarded to a different staffing company, same worker, no gap.
