10 H-2B worker approvals were reported for employers classified in Retail Trade with worksites recorded in Alabama in fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. All 10 decided workers were approved, resulting in an approval rate of 100%. There was 1 petitioner named in the data for these filings. These figures count workers represented in USCIS initial approval and denial decisions on H-2B petitions and are not counts of petitions, visa issuances or individual people. The state is determined by the worksite recorded on the Labor Department labor certification, not where the employer is located. The industry sector is the two-digit NAICS sector associated with the employer on that filing, describing the employer's industry, not the workers' occupation. The figures cover fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026, a partial year. Alabama's approval rate for Retail Trade was higher than the national same-sector rate of 99.9%.
