dinero_admin A new group of more than 190 Salvadorans has left for the United States as part of the Labor Mobility Program, an initiative promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in coordination with the U.S. Government, which promotes access to temporary employment opportunities abroad. The workers will work in seafood processing in the states of Alaska and Oregon for a period of 3 to 6 months.
This strategy is part of the government’s efforts to generate decent jobs, boost economic development and facilitate circular migration. The aim is not only to strengthen the economy of salvadoran households by providing labor income abroad, but also to promote a safe, orderly, and legal migratory flow.
Program participants received a preventive protection information day, focused on orientation on their labor rights and duties, as well as recommendations for a successful performance of their assigned tasks, which contributes to a better labor integration in international markets.
In addition, key information was provided on official communication channels, such as the temporary worker hotline, and reporting mechanisms to prevent fraud. These measures reinforce the transparency and security of the program, strengthening the confidence of participants and their families.
The Labor Mobility Program continues to consolidate itself as an effective tool to boost the Salvadoran economy by strengthening family income and generating productive capacities in the country, contributing to the economic and social well-being of the population.
