There is no "visa job list" like other common destinations. If a company were to sponsor you under EB3 for an immigrant visa, it would cost them thousands of $$$ and, if successful, you would get the call to come to the embassy and process your immigrant visa in around 6 to 10 years time! Basically, it ain't gonna happen.

If you employ people in the UK, look at setting up a US subsidiary of your business and transferring yourself over on an L1a. The US company can then sponsor you for permanent residency a year after you arrive.

Thank you Casey. Your problem will be the good 'ol visa. Have you used the search function to research requirements to immigrate to the US?
Why do you want to make such a move?

As others have already said, the US doesn't put out a list of jobs considered to be in shortage. (I suspect they don't want to be "tied down" to a list that is subject to change.) The way it works for US visas is that you need to find a job and an employer to "petition" for you (basically the same as a sponsorship) to come and work for them. There is no visa that will allow you to move over and then start looking for work (well, not unless you marry an American or something like that ).
Cheers,
Bev

There is a list out for Candians only.

I think there is a list, used in evaluating visa applications, but it isn't published. Applications for jobs on the list will at least not get tossed immediately.

That's the TN visas. Works for Mexicans as well.
