The Department of Labor’s Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) has released data and selected program statistics for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, along with the foreign labor recruiters list for the H-2B program. The releases include:

  • A comprehensive set of public disclosure data drawn from employer applications requesting prevailing wage determinations and labor certifications for the PERM, LCA (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3),
    H-2A, H-2B, CW-1, and Prevailing Wage programs. OFLC noted that it recently implemented the revised form ETA-9089. As a result, there will be two distinct PERM disclosure data files. These files will each have their own record layout documents. The public disclosure files include all final determinations OFLC issued for these programs during the October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024, reporting period.
  • Selected program statistics for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 for the PERM, LCA (H-1B,
    H-1B1, E-3), H-2A, H-2B, CW-1, and Prevailing Wage programs.
  • An updated list of the names of foreign labor recruiters for the H-2B program, and related frequently asked questions. The list contains the name and location of persons or entities identified on Appendix C of the Form ETA-9142B that were hired by, or working for, the recruiter that employers have indicated they engaged, or planned to engage, in the recruitment of prospective H-2B workers to perform the work described on their H-2B application. The H-2B Foreign Labor Recruiter List includes only those names and locations associated with H-2B applications that were processed or issued a final decision during the October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024.
