Companies that want to hire foreign workers through the permanent labor certification process would have to pay a fee of at least $10,000 per worker, with the goal of encouraging employers to hire American workers instead. The money collected from these fees could potentially be used to support job training or other workforce programs. This would affect businesses across various industries that rely on hiring skilled workers from outside the United States.
