AmericanHort Urges Release of Supplemental H-2B Visas

AmericanHort joined more than 2,200 businesses urging the Trump Administration to release the 64,716 supplemental H-2B visas authorized by law to address severe seasonal labor shortages. For horticulture employers, timely access to these visas is essential to sustaining operations, protecting U.S. jobs, and ensuring nurseries, greenhouses, and landscape firms can meet peak-season demand. Delaying their release adds uncertainty and strain at a critical moment for small businesses and the broader economy.
