compromise already addresses the H2A wage issue. AgJOBS would reduce the adverse effect wage rates for each state by about 10% by setting them at the rates in effect on January 1. 2003. and would then freeze the AEWRs for three years. while two studies are performed to examine H2A wage rates and make recommendations to Congress. If Congress were to fail to enact an adverse effect wage rate formula within 3 years. the AEWRs would be adjusted at the end of 3 years by the cost of living. The AEWR issue is a complex one and is best left to the studies agreed to in the AgJOBS compromise.
