DOL Proposes Major H-1B Wage Increase

The Department of Labor has proposed raising wage requirements for H-1B and other employment based visas. Entry level wages could rise by over 30%, shifting from the 17th to the 34th percentile. The rule also applies to H-1B1, E-3, and PERM cases. If approved, it will impact new filings only. Employers have about 60 days to submit comments.
