A total of 2,482 Jamaicans travelled to the United States for employment between January and June 2025 under the H-2A agricultural and H-2B non-agricultural visa programmes.
Minister of Labour and Social Security, Pearnel Charles Jr., made the disclosure during a Jamaica Central Labour Organisation webinar yesterday (Thurs).
He said the figure represents 36 per cent of all Jamaicans who have secured overseas employment for the year to date.
He noted that the Ministry continues to support participants in the Overseas Employment Programme, through skills training, work readiness preparation and the management of a national database of pre-screened workers.
