Understanding the International Student International Students Struggle to Find Jobs in U.S. Prospects for employment in U.S. stagnate despite economic recovery Cornell University reports that international students attending the university are steadily increasing every year but students are struggling to get off-campus jobs. “Now, it’s easier for students to get visas, but it’s harder for them to find jobs,” said Rebecca Sparrow, executive director of Cornell Career Services. “During a time of high unemployment, international students have an even more difficult time than U.S. students, just because if a company can avoid any kind of uncertainty or avoid the additional expense, they often do,” said Brendan O’Brien, director of the ISSO.
