Methodology
These figures are calculated directly from U.S. Department of Labor H-2A/H-2B filings for the reporting period 2026-10-11 to 2026-10-18. Only job orders with an issued Notice of Acceptance are included; a Notice of Acceptance is not a labor certification. Wages originally filed as weekly, monthly, or yearly are converted to an hourly equivalent using each job order's own stated weekly hours -- never an assumed schedule; the wage stated in each job order is never altered and remains available on that listing. Job orders paid solely by piece rate, or missing the weekly-hours figure needed to convert, are excluded rather than estimated. These are historical filings, not a forecast.
These figures are calculated directly from public U.S. Department of Labor filings for the reporting period shown. They describe hiring activity that was filed, not a forecast or a guarantee of future opportunities or earnings.
