Support the Protecting American Workers Through H-1B Modernization Act to replace the fixed $60,000 H-1B wage threshold with a dynamic standard equal to two times the Social Security Administration's national average wage index.

The Protecting American Workers Through H-1B Modernization Act would replace the fixed $60,000 threshold with a dynamic standard equal to two times the national average wage index, as calculated by the Social Security Administration. This would ensure the threshold keeps pace with wage growth going forward, rather than remaining frozen in place.

Husted introduced legislation to modernize the H-1B wage threshold by tying it to twice the national average wage index so it adjusts with wage growth.
