Kenya and the State of Nebraska have signed a labour migration agreement, creating new job opportunities for Kenyans in the United States, particularly in the trucking and medical sectors. This initiative aims to address labour shortages in Nebraska and strengthen bilateral ties.

• The agreement was formalized via a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at State House, Nairobi.
• Bob Evnen, the Nebraska Secretary of State, praised Kenyans for being "hard-working, dedicated, and very sharp."
• The recruitment effort will initially focus on truck drivers, with plans to expand to nursing and other medical professions, despite increased immigration scrutiny under the Trump administration’s policies.
