Shortgage of U.S Qualified Staff
I heard that there is a shortgage in qualified hospitality/tourism US staff in Florida, does that mean it is easier to obtain sponsorship in this sector?

There's a shortage of labour and doctors in Alaska, but you don't see any shortcuts for gc's there do you?

The question was about whether it is "easy to obtain sponsorship." This is
not the same as "shortcut for green card."
Alaska would be a state in which a foreign physician could readily get an
employer to sponsor her or him for permanent resident status based on labor
certification, or on a National Interest Waiver (NIW) for physicians
employed in medically underserved areas. Neither of these is really a
"short cut." They are both a real pain in the neck to get.
The original poster asked about hospitality/tourism. The problem with that
area is that in general, there are no temporary statuses available so that
the person can be employed while the employer is going through the
expensive, arduous and time-consuming process of getting a green card by
showing a labor market shortage. Sure, maybe there are a few higher-level
positions for which a degree would be required, and thus H-1B status is
available, but these are not so common.
The doctor in Alaska has H-1B status easily available.
H-2B temporary worker status is available for positions for which the
employer can show a temporary shortage, but an H-2B position may not be used
as the basis for obtaining employment-based permanent resident status. H-2B
status is also a real pain in the neck to get.
