Employment and Training Administration Publishes Federal Register Notice (FRN) Updating the H-2A Monthly Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) for Herding or Production of Livestock on the Range The Employment and Training Administration has published a FRN announcing the new AEWR for herding or production of livestock on the range for the H-2A program. The AEWR is the minimum wage rate the Department of Labor has determined must be offered, advertised in recruitment, and paid by employers to H-2A workers and workers in corresponding employment, so that the wages of workers in the United States similarly employed will not be adversely affected. The notice announces the new national monthly AEWR for herding or production of livestock on the range, which will be effective as of February 3, 2026. |
