What Form ETA-790 Job Order means to ag employers

A "Job Order" in the H-2A program is a document that outlines the material terms and conditions of employment for agricultural jobs, including details such as wages, working conditions, and benefits. This document is submitted by the employer to the State Workforce Agency (SWA) and is used to advertise the job opportunity on both interstate and intrastate job clearance systems. The job order is based on the employer's Agricultural Clearance Order (Form ETA-790/ETA-790A) and serves as a key component in the recruitment process to ensure the availability of U.S. workers before hiring H-2A foreign workers. It must be submitted to the SWA within a specific timeframe prior to the employer's date of need for workers.
