The Biden administration is seeking to make changes to the immigration process in an effort to help attract skilled workers to the United States to address the labor shortage, according to a top immigration and citizenship official.

Migration Policy Institute conducted its webcast on April 11, delving into the topic of global skills and talent needs as the United States experiences a labor shortage. The virtual event brought together several senior policymakers and experts, including U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Ur Jaddou, to discuss the potential role of immigration in addressing current and future workforce needs.
