What is AgJOBS

To ensure an adequate supply of workers for the U.S. apple industry, it is critical that the industry does everything in its power to secure the passage of meaningful agriculture labor reforms, such as the Agricultural Job Opportunities, Benefits and Security Act (AgJOBS). The AgJOBS legislation would reform the current H-2A guest worker program, making it more streamlined and accessible to growers and ensure growers have continued access to a pool of skilled workers to keep the industry in business.
