Current Narrative:
Annually, the Louisiana One-Stop system receives approximately one dozen non-H-2A agricultural job orders. Several of those tend to be permanent positions from university agricultural research departments.
Although offered to agricultural employers several times each year, none have expressed interest in the Agricultural Recruitment System (ARS) and prefer to search workers locally through the HIRE system. In the past five years, no agricultural employers have agreed to use the ARS.
Even considering this lack of interest, the SMA will continue to promote the ARS to both H-2A and non-H-2A agricultural employers and farmer organizations. The SMA will continue to encourage One-Stop staff to promote the ARS during their outreach to agricultural employers.
