COMMON CONSTRUCTION PREVAILING WAGE RATES FOR GUAM
Pursuant to Section 214.2(h) (3) (ii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act as published in the Federal Register, Volume 50, Number 3, Section VII, the system governing the labor certifications for employment of temporary alien workers on Guam requires the Governor of Guam to determine the prevailing wage rates for Guam using survey data from the USDOL OES system. The prevailing wage rates must be reviewed and approved by the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Service (USCIS) prior to implementation. USCIS has reviewed the Government of Guam's proposed rates. The USCIS has applied an escalation factor and proposed revised rates which were acceptable to the Government of Guam. The USCIS has granted a six month approval for the following rates which will be effective from July 28,2008 to January 15, 2009:
