On Jan. 1 of this year, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) instituted a number of changes to its foreign labor certification program. Among these was the centralization of prevailing wage adjudications.

It is used in the immigration context as a measure of the minimum allowable wage to be paid by employers seeking to employ foreign nationals in certain nonimmigrant classifications (H-1B, H-2B, H-1B1, E-3), or to sponsor a foreign national for permanent residence through the labor certification process (PERM).
