Why U.S. Employers Are Choosing International Workers: The Business Case

The U.S. is facing unprecedented labor shortages across multiple industries. With 8.1 million job openings and a declining domestic workforce, employers are increasingly turning to international worker programs to fill critical positions.

The Labor Shortage Crisis

Industries like hospitality, manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture are struggling to find enough workers domestically. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, there are only 0.8 available workers for every open position in many sectors.

Benefits of Hiring International Workers

Lower Turnover β€” International workers who come through visa sponsorship programs tend to have significantly lower turnover rates compared to domestic hires. EB-3 Green Card holders, in particular, demonstrate strong job loyalty.

Filling Critical Gaps β€” Visa sponsorship allows employers to access a global talent pool, ensuring positions don't remain vacant for months.

Cultural Diversity β€” International workers bring diverse perspectives, language skills, and cultural knowledge that can benefit customer-facing businesses.

Reliable Workforce β€” Workers who go through the visa process demonstrate commitment, reliability, and strong work ethic.
