The Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration awarded $1 million to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development through the Temporary Labor Certification for Foreign Workers program (CFDA 17.273) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. This formula grant aims to ensure adequate labor opportunities, wages, and working conditions for both U.S. and foreign workers through several key activities. State workforce agencies will review and post job orders to recruit qualified U.S. workers, ensure the health and safety of farmworkers by inspecting employer-provided housing, and protect wages by conducting surveys to determine prevailing wages and standards. Intended deliverables include providing safe and adequate housing for H-2A agricultural workers, timely review and posting of job opportunities, and referral of qualified U.S. workers to jobs. The recipient does not intend to sub-award any of the $1 million in funding.
