勞工部提高了高技能工作簽證的工資。

January 14, 2021

On Tuesday, the Department of Labor (DOL) made another attempt at raising the wages of foreign workers on high-skilled visas. The new rule will raise the four salary levels and be phased in over time. The new final rule comes after three federal judges struck down the department’s first attempt to raise the prevailing wage rates, which set the baseline salary for foreign workers to avoid suppressing U.S. workers’ salaries.

Labor officials told reporters the new final rule will raise the entry-level salary tier from the current 17th percentile to the 35th percentile. Wages will start increasing in July 2021, and take full effect one year later.
