Where these figures come from
We count the H-2A and H-2B job orders that received a Notice of Acceptance from the U.S. Department of Labor in each week (Sunday to Saturday, Eastern Time). The notice is a step in the employer’s process. It is not a labor certification and does not guarantee a visa. A position is a job for one worker; a job order is one employer request and can include many positions.
