The O*NET provides the general public information on skills, abilities, knowledge, tasks, work activities, and the specific vocational preparation levels associated with occupations. It also serves as the framework for information being gathered through the Department of Labor's Occupational Information Network (O*NET).
The SOC provides a common language for categorizing occupations. Since September 1999, the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) has been used by the OEWS program to classify occupational wage information.
The wage data is available on the Foreign Labor Certification Data Center website at. The Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has provided wage data collected under the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program for use in the Foreign Labor Certification process since 1998. In addition, the H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 programs require the employer to pay the prevailing wage or the actual wage paid by the employer to workers with similar skills and qualifications, whichever is higher. The requirement to pay prevailing wages as a minimum is true of most employment based visa programs involving the Department of Labor. Effective January 4, 2010, employers can obtain this wage rate by submitting a request to the National Prevailing Wage Center (NPWC), or by accessing other legitimate sources of information such as the Online Wage Library (OWL), available for use in some programs. The prevailing wage rate is defined as the average wage paid to similarly employed workers in a specific occupation in the area of intended employment. To comply with the statute, the Department's regulations require that the wages offered to a foreign worker must be the prevailing wage rate for the occupational classification in the area of employment. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) requires that the hiring of a foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of U.S. Consumer groups, small business groups and other government organisations and industry associations throughout Australia also play a vital role in helping the SAN raise consumer awareness of scams in the community.PERM, H-2B, H-1B, H-1B1, E-3 and CW-1 Programs: The SAN's business partners include leading banks and financial institutions, technology companies, online and social media platforms, telecommunications providers and industry associations.
