Michigan Farmworker Enumerations
H-2A Program in Michigan
H-2A Program Data and Job List by Year
The H-2A Program allows agricultural employers to bring foreign workers into the United States on a visa that is conditional on the worker's employment for that employer; however, U.S. workers can apply for and fill positions posted through the H-2A Program. In fact, qualified U.S. workers have a right to jobs in the H-2A program. Therefore, H-2A Program Data does not indicate the number of foreign workers in Michigan in a given year but the number of employers and jobs certified through the H-2A Program.
