Foreign workers and international students returning to US

As NPR reports, the number of guest workers and immigrants coming to the United States is slowly climbing again after steep declines during the pandemic. These workers migrate on a J- or H-2B temporary work visa to staff jobs at resort towns and amusement parks. Economists say that should ease labor shortages — and some, though not all, think it could help calm inflation too.

The wrinkle: many cannot themselves afford to live in places like California given inflated costs (according to WSJ).
