H-2B Seasonal Work Visa: Top Industries Hiring International Workers

The H-2B visa program allows U.S. employers to hire international workers for temporary, non-agricultural positions. With only 66,000 visas available per year, competition is fierce β€” but KhangBridge helps you stand out.

Top Industries Using H-2B Workers

Hospitality & Hotels β€” The hospitality industry is the largest H-2B employer. Positions include housekeeping, front desk, food service, and groundskeeping at hotels, resorts, and conference centers across the country.

Landscaping & Grounds Maintenance β€” Seasonal landscaping companies heavily rely on H-2B workers during spring and summer months. These positions offer steady work and competitive pay.

Seafood Processing β€” Coastal regions in Alaska, Maryland, and Louisiana have significant demand for seasonal seafood processing workers, particularly during peak harvest seasons.

Construction β€” Seasonal construction projects, especially in regions with harsh winters, create demand for temporary workers during building seasons.

Amusement & Recreation β€” Theme parks, ski resorts, and other seasonal attractions regularly hire H-2B workers for the tourist season.

Food Processing β€” Large-scale food manufacturing facilities hire seasonal workers during peak production periods.
