El incremento de los permisos como trabajadores temporales a mexicanos en los Estados Unidos: Viejas formas de contratación en el sector agrícola estadounidense
En los últimos años las visas de trabajo temporal del programa H-2A en la agricultura estadounidense se incrementaron. Esta nueva dinámica del mercado laboral agrícola estadounidense impacta a las comunidades y familias en los territorios que son origen de un alto flujo migratorio a los Estados Unidos. Sobre la base de información del Departamento de Estado de ese país se indagó en la evolución en el tiempo del número de trabajadores mexicanos en ese programa y tomando como referencia la metodología cualitativa se buscó conocer el impacto que han tenido este tipo de visas en las comunidades y las dinámicas de contratación que aplican los empresarios agrícolas estadounidenses. Se encontró que si bien los procesos de contratación no son complicados la experiencia migratoria previa determina en gran medida la contratación por esta vía de los trabajadores que van a laborar en las actividades agrícolas; en cambio existe en el mercado laboral estadounidense un nicho en las actividades agropecuarias para los jóvenes migrantes mexicanos en el que no se requiere experiencia previa pero sí estudios universitarios terminados.
Impact of COVID-19 on the United States Economy and the Policy Response
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has upended the global and United States economies exacting a large human toll and shutting down major economic sectors. While there is significant uncertainty about United States economic growth prospects the impact of the pandemic is severe. The record-long United States economic expansion came to an end as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic with forecasts of a deep recession in 2020. The outlook remains highly uncertain as it is difficult to gauge the social and economic impact of the pandemic which will depend on the success of containing the outbreak and the measures to restart economic activity. The economic policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been substantial and immediate. Three stimulus packages were approved by the United States Congress in March to address the impact on households and businesses. New legislation was also approved in April and June to improve the effectiveness of the programmes included in the previous three fiscal packages. The United States Federal Reserve cut interest rates to the zero lower bound offered unlimited quantitative easing and deployed old and new policy tools aimed at keeping financial markets functioning.
