En FY2026 (through Q2), el Departamento de Trabajo certificó 25,368 vacantes H-2A para lugares de trabajo en Washington — #3 entre todos los estados — en 184 solicitudes de empleadores. El salario mediano ofrecido fue $17.13/hora (mitad central de las ofertas: $17.13–$19).
Temporada de contratación
El 80% de las vacantes certificadas en Washington empiezan en marzo, febrero o enero, y una temporada típica dura unos 8 meses. Los empleadores presentan la solicitud al DOL una mediana de 57 días antes de la fecha de inicio — así que las vacantes para empezar en marzo suelen aparecer en SeasonalJobs.dol.gov alrededor de enero.

Cómo se consiguen estos trabajos
La visa H-2A permite a empleadores de EE. UU. contratar trabajadores extranjeros para trabajo agrícola temporal: siembra, cosecha, empaque, viveros e invernaderos, ganado y lechería. El proceso lo inicia el empleador, no el trabajador: primero debe ofrecer el puesto a trabajadores estadounidenses, obtener la certificación del Departamento de Trabajo que se muestra en esta página y luego pedir las visas a USCIS.
Cada vacante certificada debe publicarse en el registro oficial del DOL, SeasonalJobs.dol.gov — ahí se buscan y solicitan las vacantes vigentes. Cuidado con quien cobre "cuotas de visa" al trabajador: cobrar honorarios de reclutamiento a trabajadores H-2A es ilegal.
