The másLabor Story

Who We Are

másLabor is a business-to-business consulting firm and the nation’s leading provider of comprehensive H-2A and H-2B services. Thousands of U.S. businesses, across all 50 states, rely on our professional expertise to achieve optimal results year after year.

másLabor was established in 2003 by Libby Whitley, whose leadership experience includes two decades in Washington, D.C. advocating on behalf of agricultural and other seasonal employers.

In 2022, the company merged with AgWorks H2, LLC, a Georgia-based H-2A and H-2B provider that ranked among the nation’s largest. Together, the companies obtain labor certifications for over 70,000 foreign workers per year — more than the next three service providers combined.
