AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would allow the Secretary of Labor to keep the current adverse effect wage rate (AEWR) in place for up to 2 years after the bill becomes law. The AEWR is the minimum wage that employers must pay to temporary foreign agricultural workers admitted on H-2A visas. The Secretary could keep the rate unchanged only if the Secretary determines that there is not a valid method to calculate the rate.
