Complicated year for H2b visa extensions
Winter extensions
The world stopped by COVID, then the Russian war appears on Ukrainians. Increased those of gas, oil and generated economic uncertainty. Millions of tourists from Europe go to the USA every winter. Today Europe is in recession and fearful of a harsh winter. The value of the Europe is lower than ever.
Tourists also arrive from Latin America in winter. Still there is a lot of economic insecurity.
The US economy has suffered from inflation and uncertainty.
Less tourists less winter jobs.
In the United States, the reality is very different. What is the Great Renunciation and what are its causes? In 2021, more than 38 million workers have voluntarily left their jobs in the US, roughly equivalent to a resignation of 3 of the total number of employees each month. Why are they quitting in America?
A Pew Research Center survey has provided some clues: Most of those who quit a job in 2021 cite low pay, lack of advancement opportunities, or not feeling respected at work. work as the main reasons for his resignation; most are from the commercial and tourism sectors with low salaries and long hours. Many discovered their children were growing up without them and now with many hours at home, they saw hidden marital problems. They are living to work.
With the economy doing well they decided to change jobs.
Therefore there are millions with experience in commerce, hotels and ski available. The advantage of H2b workers is that they cannot work for another company. But the Americans today compete with them.
Tourism companies have more to choose from than ever. Getting a winter extension can last longer than ever.
