How the exam will ask it
ప్రిలిమ్స్
- PERM is a US Department of Labor process that certifies that no qualified US worker is available for a job before an employer sponsors a foreign worker for a green card.

మెయిన్స్
GS-III (economy, technology) and GS-II (India's diaspora and foreign policy effects). Issue: US action against large IT employers in the PERM process puts at risk the IT services model built on talent mobility. Policy: the State can respond with AI and deep-tech skilling, and by building Global Capability Centres and local talent pipelines. Implication: it may reduce dependence on outbound mobility and encourage domestic value addition. Way forward: industry-linked skilling, research investment and diversified markets.
