Coalition Urges Department of Labor to Update Schedule A Occupation List to Meet Current Labor Market Needs
Published
The American Immigration Council joined a coalition of advocacy organizations, business groups, and individuals representing a broad political spectrum of constituents and stakeholders to encourage the Department of Labor (DOL) to annually update its Schedule A Group I occupation list to better reflect the conditions facing the current labor markets.
The groups urged the Department to utilize its legal authority to pursue a data-driven approach to updating Schedule A Group I to reflect the labor needs of today’s economy and offered help in research or resources to help DOL determine the best process for updating Schedule A.
Help us fight for immigration justice!
The research is clear – immigrants are more likely to win their cases with a lawyer by their side. But very few can get attorneys.
Introducing the Immigration Justice Campaign Access Fund.
Your support sends attorneys, provides interpreters, and delivers justice.
Immigration Justice Campaign is an initiative of American Immigration Council and American Immigration Lawyers Association. The mission is to increase free legal services for immigrants navigating our complicated immigration system and leverage the voices and experiences of those most directly impacted by our country’s immigration policies to inform legal and advocacy strategies. We bring together a broad network of volunteers who provide legal assistance and advocate for due process for immigrants with a humane approach that includes universal legal representation and other community-based support for individuals during their immigration cases.
