On May 25, 2018, President Trump signed Executive Order 13838, which exempted recreational services on federal lands from the prevailing wage requirements established in Executive Order 13658. The order eliminated the requirement that companies providing recreational services on federal property pay workers the prevailing wage for their region. This reduced labor costs for contractors providing services like campground management, equipment rentals, and recreational facilities on federal lands, directly lowering operating expenses for private companies managing these services.
