I don't work for Oracle but what does the number 22036 actually represent.
For example, the company I work for has employees, third-party, and contractors in USA. Majority of the time, the contractors and employees get cut but the third-party either stays at the same level or increases which are majority H1Bs. Another words, my company is getting rid of full-time employees and contractors and replacing them with third party vendors either within USA (like USA Inforsys, USA Wipro, USA HCL, etc) or outsource the work to foreign countries like India, China, Philippines, Poland.
Perhaps if you have the info, it would be good to know the number of full-time employees, contractors, and third party vendor employees to give everyone a full picture to everyone where Oracle is heading in the coming days within USA.
