DOL Releases 2014 Adverse Effect Wage Rates

The Department of Labor has published a notice in the Federal Register announcing new Adverse Effect Wage Rates (AEWRs) in calendar year 2014 for each state, based on the Farm Labor Survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The AEWRs are the minimum hourly wage rates the Department has determined must be offered and paid by employers to

H-2A temporary agricultural workers so that the wages of similarly employed U.S. workers will not be adversely affected.
