Labour Rates

Here are the Adverse Effect Wage Rates (AEWRs) for H-2A agricultural workers in the U.S. by state for 2024. These rates are determined by the Department of Labor to ensure fair wages for temporary agricultural workers under the H-2A visa program:

These rates are effective from January 1, 2024, for most states, with exceptions where federal data adjusts mid-year.

Employers must pay at least the AEWR or the prevailing local wage, whichever is higher.
