Which AI chatbot does each industry depend on? We split Similarweb's AI referral estimates for 2,429 top websites by chatbot (Sept 2026). ChatGPT sends 83.5% of a typical university site's AI referrals, but only 39.6% at news sites. https://locaihost.org/blog/ai-chatbot-share-by-industry/

On a visa and job hunting? We took this week's software, data and product jobs on LinkedIn in New York, the Bay Area, Seattle and Austin and kept only employers that have certified H-1B filings with the US Department of Labor. 35–49 such employers per city. 🧵

Why filings and not job ads: most ads never say whether the company sponsors, and many that sponsor never mention it. The DOL filings say it for them. An LCA is the first step of an H-1B, not an approval, so treat it as evidence, not a promise.

We checked the websites of plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers, painters and locksmiths on Google Maps in 5 cities: Leeds, Manchester, Brisbane, Denver, Austin. 70 had a website that's a real problem. 38 have no website at all, or only a social-media page. 🧵

@locaihost.org

How we checked: every site was actually fetched. Sites that block automated checks were left out instead of being called broken, and we re-checked the 72 flagged businesses with a second, independent client: 70 agreed. The other 2 were dropped.

We built this for web-design and SEO agencies who'd otherwise open hundreds of websites by hand to find who's worth calling. More, and the method: https://locaihost.org/google-maps-leads/

The rest: 8 list a website that's down, 8 return an error page, 7 point at a parked or "coming soon" domain, and 9 still have no HTTPS, so browsers warn visitors away. Manchester had the most (24), Austin the fewest (6).

We read every open job on the career pages of 300 tech companies on 10 Oct: 29,816 postings. 55% show a pay range. In US states with pay-transparency laws it's 87%. In postings that list only other states, 31%. The laws are doing exactly what they say. 🧵

Which hiring software? 158 of the 300 use Greenhouse, 103 use Ashby. But 28 of the 37 AI companies chose Ashby. Full write-up, method and every script: https://locaihost.org/blog/careers-pages-oct-2026/

Some companies publish ranges only where the law makes them. 16 post ranges at least 10 points less often outside the four transparency states. Rocket Lab: 100% inside vs 0% outside. xAI: 87% vs 4%. Navan: 90% vs 10%.

Amazon and Apple filed more green-card certifications than 7 of the 8 companies suspended from PERM this week. Microsoft alone is half the total. Infosys barely uses PERM at all: 100 cases against 16k H-1B filings. #H1B #immigration #dataviz

Against their certified H-1B LCAs over the same years, Microsoft's PERM count is 26% and Adobe's 22%. Infosys is 0.6%, Cognizant 4%. The pause bites hardest where green-card sponsorship is routine. Source: DOL OFLC disclosure files. Per employer: locaihost.org/visa-sponsors/microsoft/

We checked the email DNS of the top 1,000 websites (Tranco list, Oct 2026). 84.5% publish DMARC, but only 47.4% tell receivers to reject spoofed mail. The top 100 do better: 62% reject vs 45.8% for ranks 101–1,000. 🧵

We read 1.57M US Labor Dept H-1B filings (FY2024 to June 2026). Five findings 🧵 1. Filings fell 8.1% like-for-like this year. 20 IT-services firms filed 32% fewer and caused a third of the drop. TCS −56%, IBM −64%. Infosys +18%, Nvidia +71%.

2. Most sponsors are tiny: 51.6% of the 63,545 employers that filed in FY2025 filed exactly one. 3. Who you work for matters more than the visa. Median offered wage for software engineers: Salesforce $211,686, Meta $203,350, Google $186,000, TCS $112,986.

4. Green cards: 23 PERM certifications per 100 LCAs overall. Intel 31.9, Microsoft 24.9, Infosys 0.7. 5. Only 0.68% of LCAs were denied, which says nothing about visa approvals. Full analysis, methods and scripts: https://locaihost.org/blog/h1b-sponsors-2026/ #h1b
