The Administration has not yet released the 65,716 supplemental H-2B visas that many land improvement employers depend on to meet workforce needs. The H-2B Workforce Coalition, in which LICA participates, is supporting an effort by Senators King (I-ME) and Rounds (R-SD) and Rep. Harris (D-MD) urging the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in consultation with the Department of Labor (DOL), to use the authority Congress provided in the current Continuing Resolution to release the maximum allowable number of additional H-2B visas for Fiscal Year 2027. These visas will allow employers to supplement their U.S. workforce to keep their businesses open and provide additional certainty for their workforce planning decisions in the coming months.
