Description

Tens of thousands of foreign nationals travel to the U.S. each year under the H-2A and H-2B visa programs. These programs are designed to fill a temporary need that U.S. workers are unavailable to fill. Employers may use third parties to recruit these workers and recruitment generally takes place outside the U.S. with limited federal oversight. This report studied foreign labor recruitment. It examines (1) the number of H-2A and H-2B workers who enter the country and the occupations they fill; (2) how U.S. employers recruit H-2A and H-2B workers and what abuse may occur in recruitment and employment; and (3) how well federal departments and agencies protect H-2A and H-2B workers. Includes recommendations. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
