Additionally. the Department of Labor will now be empowered to conduct random investigations of even exempt employers if they are found to have committed violations. Violators will face stiffer fines and other punishment. A second flaw in the legislation is the failure to cap the number of visas made available to health care workers. The effect of the abolition of this cap is that U.S. health care workers. particularly physical and occupational therapists. will be increasingly unable to find work. A recent study by the American Physical Therapy Association indicates that by the year 2000. there will be an 11% surplus of physical therapists in the United States.
