How to apply
Each order links to its listing on SeasonalJobs.dol.gov, the Department of Labor's official registry, where the employer's recruitment contact and the full job description are published. U.S. workers can apply directly to the employer or through their state workforce agency, which refers applicants to these orders; H-2A employers must keep hiring qualified U.S. applicants until half of the contract period has passed.
