What factors may affect a Reduction in Recruitment (RIR)
The
following factors, similiar to the Labor Certification process, may have an impact
on the outcome of an RIR:
Current
status of the U.S. economy on a national, regional, and local level.
Shortage/surplus
of job candidates within the local area.
Nature
of the job and whether it requires specialized or basic training. For example,
a software engineer requires more specialized training than a manager in a fast
food chain.
Employer's size.
Employer's
layoff record within the past year.
Employer's
hiring practices of U.S. workers evidenced by its percentage in relation to its
entire workforce.
