The Department of Labor is proposing to temporarily increase the number of H-2B temporary worker visas available in fiscal year 2026, using authority that expires at the end of this year. H-2B visas allow U.S. employers in non-farm industries, like hospitality, landscaping, and construction, to hire foreign workers when they claim they cannot find enough American workers. This change would directly affect employers seeking temporary foreign labor and potentially influence job availability and wages for American workers in these sectors.
