美国劳工部将H-2A放牧类职业工资标准上调至每月2132.41美元
发布日期 2026年1月20日生效日期 2026年2月3日
美国劳工部(DOL)宣布对从事放牧或牲畜生产的H-2A外籍临时工人适用的不利影响工资率(AEWR)进行年度更新。根据就业成本指数(ECI)3.6%的上调幅度,新月工资标准由2058.31美元提高至2132.41美元。
要点
- AEWR是劳工部要求雇主在招聘广告中公布并实际支付给H-2A放牧工人及相应岗位工人的最低工资标准。
- 全国范围内放牧类职业的新月度AEWR为2132.41美元,是在上一年度工资标准基础上按就业成本指数3.6%的涨幅计算得出的。
- 雇主必须按照法规规定的多个工资来源中最高的一项支付放牧工人工资,本次AEWR即为其中之一。
- 该通知自2026年2月3日起生效,适用于该日期及之后完成的工作。
- 这是根据劳工部2015年确立的计算方法进行的例行年度调整。
影响对象
受影响的是已获批准或正在申请H-2A放牧工人(如牧羊人、牧牛人)认证的农业雇主,以及相关H-2A工人本人。
建议行动
正在申请或已获批H-2A放牧工人项目的雇主应在2026年2月3日生效日期前,将工资标准调整至不低于每月2132.41美元的新AEWR水平。

摘要:
SUMMARY:
美国劳工部(DOL)就业与培训管理局发布本通知,宣布更新用于在牧场从事放牧或牲畜生产工作的临时或季节性非移民外国劳工(H-2A劳工)雇佣的不利影响工资率(AEWR)。AEWR是劳工部确定的最低工资率,雇主必须在招聘广告中公布,并向H-2A劳工及相应受雇劳工支付,以确保从事类似工作的美国(U.S.)劳工的工资和工作条件不会受到不利影响。在本通知中,劳工部按照2015年先前确立的方法,宣布更新在牧场从事放牧或牲畜生产工作劳工的年度不利影响工资率。
The Employment and Training Administration of the Department of Labor (DOL) is issuing this notice to announce updates to the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) for the employment of temporary or seasonal nonimmigrant foreign workers (H-2A workers) to perform herding or production of livestock on the range. AEWRs are the minimum wage rates the DOL has determined must be offered, advertised in recruitment, and paid by employers to H-2A workers and workers in corresponding employment so that the wages and working conditions of workers in the United States (U.S.) similarly employed will not be adversely affected. In this notice, DOL announces the annual update of the AEWR for workers engaged in the herding or production of livestock on the range, as required by the methodology previously established in 2015.

补充信息:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
美国国土安全部(DHS)美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)不会批准雇主为在美国(U.S.)雇佣H-2A非移民临时季节性农业劳工所提交的申请,除非申请人已获得劳工部签发的H-2A劳工认证。劳工部在确定以下两点时签发此类劳工认证:(1)没有足够的美国劳工能够、愿意且合格,并将在所需时间和地点提供申请所涉及的劳动或服务;以及(2)雇佣外国劳工从事此类劳动或服务不会对从事类似工作的美国劳工的工资和工作条件产生不利影响。参见8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(a)、1184(c)(1)和1188(a);8 CFR 214.2(h)(5);20 CFR 655.100。
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of the Department of Homeland Security will not approve an employer's petition for the admission of H-2A nonimmigrant temporary and seasonal agricultural workers in the U.S. unless the petitioner has received an H-2A labor certification from DOL. DOL issues such labor certification when it determines that (1) there are not sufficient U.S. workers who are able, willing, and qualified and who will be available at the time and place needed to perform the labor or services involved in the petition; and (2) the employment of the foreign worker(s) in such labor or services will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of workers in the U.S. similarly employed. See8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(a), 1184(c)(1), and 1188(a); 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5); 20 CFR 655.100.
不利影响工资率
Adverse Effect Wage Rate
劳工部关于牧场放牧或牲畜生产的H-2A法规,已作为《美国境内牧场放牧或牲畜生产H-2A外国劳工临时农业雇佣》刊登于《联邦公报》,80 FR 62958(2015年10月16日),其中规定雇主必须向根据20 CFR 655.200至655.235条雇佣的每位劳工提供、在招聘广告中公布并支付不低于第655.211(a)(1)条所列各种工资来源中最高者的工资,其中包括月度不利影响工资率。参见20 CFR 655.210(g)。此外,当月度不利影响工资率在工作合同期间进行调整,且该调整后的工资率高于约定的集体谈判工资以及工作履行当时适用的联邦或州法律或司法行动所规定的最低工资时,雇主必须在劳工部于《联邦公报》上公布该调整后的月度不利影响工资率后,至少支付该调整后的工资率。参见20 CFR 655.211(a)(2)。
DOL's H-2A regulations covering the herding or production of livestock on the range, published in the Federal Register as the Temporary Agricultural Employment of H-2A Foreign Workers in the Herding or Production of Livestock on the Range in the United States,80 FR 62958 (Oct. 16, 2015), provide that employers must offer, advertise in recruitment, and pay each worker employed under 20 CFR 655.200 through 655.235 a wage that is at least the highest of the various wage sources listed in § 655.211(a)(1), including the monthly AEWR. See20 CFR 655.210(g). Further, when the monthly AEWR is adjusted during a work contract, and is higher than both the agreed-upon collective bargaining wage and the applicable minimum wage imposed by Federal or State law or judicial action in effect at the time the work is performed, the employer must pay at least that adjusted monthly AEWR upon publication by DOL in the Federal Register . See20 CFR 655.211(a)(2).
根据20 CFR 655.211(c)(2)条规定，某一日历年度所有州放牧类职业的月度实际适用工资率(AEWR)，是以上一日历年度的月度实际适用工资率(2,058.31美元)为基础，按照劳工统计局公布的上一年度工资和薪金就业成本指数(ECI)进行调整后确定的。2024年9月至2025年9月期间，私营行业工人工资和薪金ECI的12个月变化率为3.6%，由此得出下一年度生效的放牧类职业月度实际适用工资率为2,132.41美元。[1] H-2A项目中所有放牧类职业的全国月度实际适用工资率，是以上一年度的月度实际适用工资率乘以（印刷页第2374页）2025年10月ECI调整系数计算得出的（2,058.31美元×1.036=2,132.41美元），即2,132.41美元。因此，任何已获得认证或正在申请放牧工人认证的雇主，必须向每名工人支付不低于第655.211(a)(1)条所列各类工资来源中最高者的工资，其中包括2,132.41美元的月度实际适用工资率，适用于本通知生效日期当日或之后实际工作的时间。
As provided in 20 CFR 655.211(c)(2), the monthly AEWR for range occupations in all States for a calendar year is based on the monthly AEWR for the previous calendar year ($2,058.31), adjusted by the Employment Cost Index (ECI) for wages and salaries published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the preceding annual period. The 12-month change in the ECI for wages and salaries of private industry workers between September 2024 and September 2025 was 3.6 percent, resulting in a monthly AEWR for range occupations in effect for the following year of $2,132.41.[1] The national monthly AEWR rate for all range occupations in the H-2A program is calculated by multiplying the monthly AEWR for the previous year by ( printed page 2374) the October 2025 ECI adjustment ($2,058.31 × 1.036 = $2,132.41) or $2,132.41. Accordingly, any employer certified or seeking certification for range workers must pay each worker a wage that is at least the highest of the various wage sources listed in § 655.211(a)(1), including the monthly AEWR of $2,132.41, at the time work is performed on or after the effective date of this notice.

Footnotes
1. 20 CFR 655.211(c)(2)条规定，月度实际适用工资率是根据“上一个10月至10月期间”的工资和薪金ECI计算得出的。该法规用语旨在指代劳工统计局(BLS)在10月份公布的工资和薪金ECI数据，该数据反映的是9月至9月期间的情况。因此，在依据本法规确定月度实际适用工资率时，采用了劳工统计局于2025年12月10日公布的最新一期私营部门工人ECI 12个月变化率数据。参见https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/eci_12102025.pdf。鉴于H-2A放牧工人群体的特点，此处采用的是私营部门工人ECI，而非全体平民工人ECI。
1. The regulation at 20 CFR 655.211(c)(2) states that the monthly AEWR is calculated based on the ECI for wages and salaries “for the preceding October-October period.” This regulatory language was intended to identify the Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) October publication of ECI for wages and salaries, which presents data for the September to September period. Accordingly, the most recent 12-month change in the ECI for private sector workers published on December 10, 2025, by BLS was used for establishing the monthly AEWR under the regulations. See https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/eci_12102025.pdf. The ECI for private sector workers was used rather than the ECI for all civilian workers given the characteristics of the H-2A herder workforce.
