Freezing H-2A Temporary Agricultural Worker Wages Through December 2023.

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: The minimum required wage for H-2A foreign agricultural workers is frozen at the December 1, 2022, rate. This wage freeze is effective until the end of 2023, aiming to stabilize labor costs for US farms. The change specifically modifies how the Department of Labor implements the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR).

This bill mandates freezing the minimum required wage (Adverse Effect Wage Rate or AEWR) for temporary foreign agricultural workers (H-2A visa holders). The wage rate in effect on December 1, 2022, must remain the standard until December 31, 2023. This measure aims to provide cost stability for farm operators but limits potential wage increases for these workers.
