Summary
The bill authorizes the Secretary of Labor to create annual wage rates for temporary agricultural workers (H‑2A) that distinguish entry‑level from experienced positions, paying the latter more. It also requires an adjustment factor that adds the value of employer‑provided housing to those wages, but not more than 30% of the wage rate. The goal is to better match pay to skill level and account for housing costs.
