Indiana Employers Rely on Both Farm and Non-Farm Seasonal Workers
Agricultural and non-agricultural employers use H-2A and H-2B visas to fill recurring seasonal shortages across farms, landscaping, hospitality, construction and recreation.
- Virginia employers requested 11,639 seasonal foreign workers in certified labor cases, according to Manifest Law analysis of Department of Labor data.
- The H-2A program supports agricultural employers seeking seasonal farm labor, while H-2B serves non-agricultural industries like landscaping and hospitality facing predictable seasonal demand.
- Nationwide, employers sought more than 533,000 farmworkers in a 12-month period ending in March 2026, while landscaping positions accounted for nearly 79,400 requests, demonstrating seasonal sector labor intensity.
- Regional industry specialization shapes employer reliance on these programs, with New England states prioritizing H-2B workers while Washington and California depend heavily on H-2A labor.
- Reliance on seasonal labor influences business operations and consumer services throughout the year across the United States, as industries address recurring workforce shortages driven by demographic shifts.
