#U.S. #farmers who would like to hire temporary foreign workers through the H-2A visa program usually work with a third party (such as an #agent, #association, or #lawyer) to make the application; employers themselves filed applications for only 15% of all jobs requested. Across the U.S., agents filed applications for 45% of all H-2A jobs, an #association of farm #enterprises filed for 21% of jobs, and 19% came from a lawyer representing the farmer.
