H-2B POSITIONS & WORKSITES Some positions held by H-2B workers include; dishwasher, busser, housekeeper, kitchen help, landscaping labor, fast food worker, seafood processors, etc. Employers in the non-skilled labor industries are asked to base their compensation for these workers on the prevailing rate of pay for regular American full-time employees in the same positions. Foreign workers are happy to be making these wages in the United States compared to what they would make in their country. Employers often prefer H-2B laborers because they are willing to work on a temporary basis and they will work the entire length of the job. Many American workers do not want temporary work and even when they do begin in that capacity, they are much more likely to leave mid-job. Foreign workers tend to be much more reliable in these types of positions. H-2B workers are often used by the hospitality, food services, seafood production, construction and landscaping industries to fill seasonal or peak load needs. H-2B workers require a visa that allows them to work for one employer on a temporary basis. After their contract period is over, they have to return to their home country and reapply the following year if they wish to return or they can apply for an EXTENSION.
