What State Workforce Agency means to ag employers

A State Workforce Agency (SWA) is a state government agency designated by the governor to administer employment and workforce information services funded by the Wagner-Peyser Act. These agencies manage public labor exchange activities through the state's one-stop delivery system and are involved in the administration of the state's unemployment compensation program. In the H-2A visa process, SWAs play a critical role by assisting in the recruitment of domestic workers and ensuring compliance with labor certification requirements. They also conduct housing inspections and other activities related to foreign labor certification.
