There are 66,000 H2-Bs available per year for non-agriculture seasonal workers. It’s an expensive and onerous process for U.S. employers to enter the lottery, said Michael Clemens, director of migration, displacement, and humanitarian policy at the Center for Global Development.
"An unfilled position is somebody who owns capital, wants to make an investment that is going to add value to the economy and generate employment, and they can't do it," Clemens says.
