“Save the spring and summer. Pass H-2B cap relief now!†barks CarnivalWarehouse.com.
The carnival industry is one of several low-skill sectors that subsist on cheap imported labor. Along with landscapers, forestry hands, housekeepers and meatpackers, nearly 70 percent of seasonal carnival positions are filled via H-2B guest worker visas. A new report shows that 90 percent of foreign laborers were hired with no training; 97.3 percent of the jobs had no education requirements.
