Spring 2025 Second Fiscal Half Summary

The H-2B program has become indispensable for businesses facing labor shortages, with 2025 seeing employers request approximately 150,000 worker positions—an 8% increase from 2024. This rise in demand reflects an increasing reliance on the program, with more positions per application and heightened

competition for the semi-annual visa cap of 33,000. As industries continue to depend heavily on the H-2B program, recent government action, such as supplemental visa allocations, demonstrates recognition of its importance. Looking ahead, this growing demand may push Congress to enact a permanent increase in the number of visas available, providing businesses with greater stability and predictability in workforce planning.
