Why This Matters

This bill would adjust the number of H-2B visas available based on how much help businesses need to find workers. It aims to make it easier for employers to hire foreign workers during times of labor shortages.

If you run a business struggling to find seasonal workers, this bill could help you hire more foreign employees.
