The demand for professions in the United States varies from state to state. Each state has its own specifics and industry focus. Conventionally, all the required specialties can be divided into 2 groups: those employed in agriculture or farming (drivers, farmers, handymen) and office workers (secretaries, programmers, managers).

Agricultural workers are required in the following states: Montana, Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota. The demand for office workers is observed in New York, Oklahoma, Southern California, Louisiana, Maryland, Washington, New Jersey.

Highly trained doctors are valued in the United States... That is why it is the most paid profession. Their salary is considered the highest in the country.

In the United States, the unemployment rate is no more than 4.5%. This means that almost the entire population is employed, including immigrants. Conclusion: the likelihood that you can go to America and find work is high. In accordance with local law, an employer can hire a foreigner when no American can be found for the vacancy. A citizen of another country can count on highly paid positions only in two cases:

• there is no compatriot for a vacant position;

• the employer wants to save on wages.

A migrant who wants to get a high position must have a specialized higher education, sufficient qualifications, and work experience. First of all, American and European diplomas are taken into account. Holders of diplomas from post-Soviet countries will have to go through the nostrification procedure, because in America they are recognized as invalid. Especially in terms of qualification confirmation, it is difficult for doctors and nurses.

America is open to innovative, unique ideas. They love all sorts of startups here, and are ready to support promising innovative projects.... Therefore, there is a high probability of receiving an invitation for really talented workers in science and researchers. The technical breakthrough in the United States is largely due to inviting scientists from other countries and providing them with opportunities to realize their potential. About a third of all American scientists are not from the United States of America.

However, upon arrival in the country, you need to be prepared for the fact that you will first have to work in simple jobs that do not even require qualifications. The American employer in immigrants especially appreciates two qualities - hard work and the consent to work for a wage for which an American will not work. Many people start with this, including those with higher education.

Popular professions in America for foreigners, including Russians - agriculture and forestry, construction, cooking, service sector, care for the elderly and elderly people, social work, cargo transportation. And here again it is necessary to take into account that the priority in hiring, even for work with low wages or low-skilled labor, is given to compatriots. Therefore, it is also worthwhile to be patient.

So let's summarize. The United States of America remains one of the most attractive countries for migrants to this day. From year to year, this stream is only gaining strength. There is a low unemployment rate, which means that everyone can find something to do. Popular among immigrants are the professions of retail trade, service industries, and laborers.

The highest paid and demanded profession is a doctor. Migrants need to be prepared for the fact that the priority in hiring always remains with Americans, even for low-paid and unskilled labor. Newcomers are often hired for jobs that an American simply won't do. The competition for high-paying and prestigious positions is very high.
