Positions in job orders that received a Notice of Acceptance from the U.S. Department of Labor, week by week (Sunday to Saturday, Eastern time). This notice is one step in the employer’s process. It is not a labor certification and does not guarantee a visa. Same data as the Market Pulse reports.

For employers with H-2 workers in Iowa

Employer Market Pulse summarizes new H-2 job orders every week: positions by state, top crops and job types, and wage ranges. Employers can also talk to a representative about health care for their H-2 workers.

Before you travel, check your health coverage

We know what it means to get sick far from home. In the U.S., going to the hospital without coverage can be very expensive, and you would have to pay the bill. Workers' compensation, if your employer has it, covers injuries at work, but not an illness or an accident outside of work. If you do not have coverage, or what you have is not enough, we offer you an alternative: compare the coverage you get through your job with the plans we help you enroll in.

This is optional. It does not help or hurt your chances of getting any job. Alliant Federation is not an employer or a recruiter.
