US proposes wage increase for H-1B, H-1B1 and E-3 visas
The Trump administration is proposing a significant hike in prevailing wages for H-1B and employment-based visa holders, aiming to increase minimum salaries by 21-33%. This move by the Department of Labor seeks to protect American jobs and wages by ensuring foreign workers are paid market rates, curbing potential displacement of U.S. workers by lower-paid foreign labor.
