United States — The Department of Labor refreshed its prevailing-wage methodology in mid-2024 — annual OES data refresh plus technical revisions to wage-level determinations for specific tech and healthcare occupations. Did not introduce the controversial 2020 proposed wage floors that were vacated by courts. Continues the stability of the Obama-era four-tier wage structure.
Who it affects: All H-1B, H-2B, PERM, and LCA applications relying on DOL prevailing-wage determinations.
