How does your location in the country (PA) and the brokerage have any impact on low risk investment options? Investment is a long term game, you’re not going to see wonders happen in few months. Park your money in low cost ETFs that track the broad market, SP500 and watch it grow over the years

PA = public accounting. There are multiple limitations around investments working in this field b/c of conflicts of interest since you are auditing public companies

Just read the 157 pg rule. Wage level bands are changed to 45th percentile, 62, 78 and 95 (from the current 17, 34, 50 and 67). Same percentiles will be used for GC PWD purposes - so a level 2 job in the new system will almost require the pay of level 4 in the old scale, employers will be discouraged from sponsoring GC. The document also includes very detailed rationale for the rule and underlying analysis being performed. IMO the WH seems to be well prepared for this one.
