The US Department of Labor’s rule mandating wage increases for workers on H-1B visas was set aside by a federal judge in California, Bloomberg Law reported. The Department of Labor’s rule, which took effect in October, increased wages by about 30%. “Frankly, the DOL wages were inflated,” Angelo Paparelli, a partner at law firm Seyfarth Shaw, told Bloomberg. “Employers have been cowering in fear of these rules taking effect and were waiting to see what the courts would do.”
