DOL certified 12,750 farm employers to fill 252,700 farm jobs with H-2A workers during the first 10.5 months of FY20, pointing to more H-2A employers and certified jobs than in 2019, when 258,000 jobs were certified. The top five states accounted for 45 percent of the FY20 jobs certified: Washington, 26,700; Georgia, 24,200; Florida, 21,400; North Carolina 20,700; and California, 20,600. Almost 40 percent of H-2A jobs were certified to farm labor contractors.
DOL began to report jobs by occupation rather than commodity in FY20, and 88 percent of the occupation titles were crop farm worker and laborer.
