I worked in NYS Dept of Labor Sept '80 - Aug '81 re: Labor Certification ie ; green cards. We were a provisional (non civil service) group hired help the agency catch up with applications.
I worked in the most boring section; house keepers, au pairs, and 1 other category. Luckily I had nice co-workers, and met more from the other sections (bunches of desks put together in a Big room!) ie Manufacturing, Science, etc.
Way to my left was the H-1B group. Back then it was H-1 visas. That included artists, entertainers, too.
Eventually there became H-1A, H-1B.
Artists of extraordinary abilities, and others became O-1. Entertainers and others became P-1
Just some corrections.
As for our location (which was moved to Brooklyn several+ years later) it was the extraordinary view of the NE corner windows of the 73rd flr in South Tower 2.
Two elevators!
Unfortunately I accidentally threw out the slides I took over several months.
But the memories are still quite clear! I also have one very small real life sketch, which I refound by accident in a sketch book.
