      "summary": "American agricultural employers have long utilized foreign workers on a\r\ntemporary basis, regarding them as an important labor resource. At the same time,\r\nthe relatively low wages and adverse working conditions of such workers have\r\ncaused them to be viewed as a threat to domestic American workers. Some have\r\nargued that foreign guest workers compete unfairly with U.S. workers \u2014 both in\r\nterms of compensation that they are willing to accept and by making it somewhat\r\nmore difficult for domestic workers to organize and to bargain with management.\r\nTo mitigate any \u201cadverse effect\u201dfor the domestic workforce, a system of wage\r\nfloors was developed that applies, variously, both to alien and citizen workers: i.e.,\r\nthe adverse effect wage rate (AEWR).\r\nThis report deals with one element of immigration (i.e., namely the H-2A\r\nworkers). It introduces the adverse effect wage rate, it examines the concerns out of\r\nwhich it grew, and it explains at least some of the problems that have been\r\nencountered in giving it effect.",
