1999 Adverse Effect Wage Rates for H-2A Workers in Agriculture and Logging

The U.S. Employment Service Director has announced the 1999 adverse effect wage rates (AEWRs) for nonimmigrant alien workers in agriculture and logging, as well as the allowable charges for meals and maximum travel subsistence reimbursement. These rates aim to prevent the employment of foreign workers from depressing U.S. wages.
