SHORTAGE OCCUPATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES

For many years, the United States has maintained global economic leadership. The successful development of the state was made possible largely thanks to a massive influx of qualified specialists from all over the world. Despite the rather complicated and bureaucratic procedure of legal immigration to the United States, the number of foreigners seeking employment with U.S. companies is increasing every year.

In the long run, in addition to applying for U.S. citizenship, every migrant worker strives to obtain a U.S. Green Card, which gives him or her the right to live and work freely throughout the country. But in most cases, applicants from abroad are initially granted work visas to the United States, which are divided into immigration and nonimmigrant visas.

Let's find out what professions are in demand in the United States in 2024.

General situation on the U.S. labor market

The United States has a highly diversified economy, unemployment in the country is low, and the labor market needs specialists in absolutely different fields. The demand for a profession depends primarily on the degree of competition for jobs and a particular state. For example, work in Alaska is available in fisheries and the oil sector. Jobs in New York are offered in tourism, fashion, finance, advertising and information technology.

The huge influx of labor migrants from Asia, Africa and Latin America to the U.S. significantly increases competition for professions that do not require special qualifications. This applies to waiters, cleaners, cashiers, movers, drivers and so on. The demand for such workers is quite high, but it is practically impossible for foreigners to find legal work in these fields. The most popular professions in the U.S. in 2024 belong to medicine and computer programming.

Most often, for a local company to be interested in hiring a foreign worker and for the authorities to agree to issue a work visa, it is necessary to have sufficient experience, qualifications, skills, and knowledge of English at a good level. A diploma from an American university is ideal. Based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, provide an average annual salary and an up-to-date list of the most popular occupations in the United States in 2024.
