Israel Expands Foreign Worker Quotas
Categories: Labor & Employment
Israel is expanding its foreign worker quotas to address persistent labor shortages across retail, food production, and service industries. The move enables major supermarket chains, factories, and service providers to recruit workers from Thailand, Sri Lanka, and India to fill essential roles.
The government has approved around 19,800 new permits for employment in commerce and services — including retail, cleaning, catering, event halls, and building maintenance — as part of a broader effort to stabilize the workforce and improve operational efficiency.
