In plain English
The government is temporarily increasing the number of temporary foreign workers allowed into the U.S. through the end of 2022 and making it easier for these workers to change employers. If you hire seasonal or temporary workers from overseas, you'll have access to a larger pool, but you should know your current workers can now more easily switch to competitors.
