Title: Labor Certification for Permanent Employment of Foreign Workers in the United States; Revising Schedule A | |
Abstract:
The Department of Labor’s (Department) Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is reviewing Schedule A of the permanent labor certification process at 20 CFR 656.5. For this reason, the Department is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) so that the public may provide input on whether Schedule A serves as an effective tool for addressing current labor shortages, and whether the Department may create a timely, coherent, and transparent methodology for identifying occupations that are experiencing labor shortages in keeping with the requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The Department wants to ensure that it is fulfilling its obligation under the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq., to ensure the employment of foreign nationals does not displace U.S. workers or adversely affect their wages and working conditions. Information received from the public will help inform decisions regarding Schedule A and ensure that its purpose is met. The Employment and Training Administration is withdrawing this entry from the agenda at this time due to agency priorities. |
