issuing this notice to announce the 2014

SUMMARY:
Adverse Effect Wage Rates for 2014
The Department’s H–2A regulations at
20 CFR 655.120(l) provide that
employers must pay their H–2A workers
and workers in corresponding
employment at least the highest of: (i)
The AEWR; (ii) the prevailing hourly
wage rate; (iii) the prevailing piece rate;
(iv) the agreed-upon collective
bargaining wage rate, if applicable; or
(v) the Federal or State minimum wage
rate, in effect at the time the work is
performed.
Except as otherwise provided in 20

wide AEWR for all agricultural
employment (except those occupations
deemed inappropriate under the special
procedure provisions of 20 CFR
655.102) for which temporary H–2A
certification is being sought is equal to
the annual weighted average hourly
wage rate for field and livestock workers
(combined) in the State or region as
published annually by the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA). 20

Administrator of the Office of Foreign
Labor Certification publish the USDA
field and livestock worker (combined)
wage data as AEWRs in a Federal
Register notice.
Accordingly, the 2014 AEWRs to be
paid for agricultural work performed by
H–2A and U.S. workers on or after the
effective date of this notice are set forth
