Congress is considering blocking a new Labor Department rule that changes how the government calculates the minimum wage that employers must pay foreign workers brought in through visa programs. If approved, this resolution would undo the rule and keep the previous wage calculation method in place, which could affect both foreign workers seeking jobs in the U.S. and American employers who hire them through these programs.
