In recent years, states such as Florida, California, Georgia, Washington, Louisiana, North Carolina and Texas are among those that concentrate the most certified H-2A positions, according to public Department of Labor data. What each offers depends on the agricultural crop and the time of year.
Quick answer: there is no "best state" for everyone. Choose by the type of work you know how to do, the time when you can travel and the conditions of each job. Compare active jobs by state on H2A Works.
