Only six per cent of the total available green cards in 2016 went to employment-based categories, according to a report of the ruling Republican Party which notes that Indian skilled workers have more than 10 years of waitlist.

The report said as of November 2017, around 112,000 people were on waitlists for all employment-based green cards combined.

It said that only six per cent of the green cards were issued by employment-based categories in 2016.
Amidst a heated immigration debate, the party's report said that in 2016, the US granted around 140,000 employment- based green cards, which was approximately 12 per cent of total green cards issued that year.
