About & methodology

Data source

All figures come from the public LCA disclosure data published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC). This build uses LCA_Disclosure_Data_FY2026_Q3, LCA_Disclosure_Data_FY2025_Q4, covering fiscal quarters FY2025Q4, FY2026Q1, FY2026Q2, FY2026Q3.Decision dates range from Jul 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026 (485,909 filings after filtering).

What these numbers are

Each row is a certified Labor Condition Application (LCA). Employers file an LCA with the Department of Labor before filing an H-1B petition with USCIS, stating the job, worksite and the wage they will pay. Certification means DOL accepted the attestation. It does not mean a visa was approved or that anyone was hired, and the wage is what the employer offered, not actual pay. Bonuses, equity and benefits are not included. One employer may file several LCAs for the same person or role.

Filters and processing

Kept only rows with case status Certified, visa class H-1B (not H-1B1 or E-3) and a full-time position.
Salaries use the lower bound of the offered wage (WAGE_RATE_OF_PAY_FROM), annualised: hourly × 2,080, weekly × 52, bi-weekly × 26, monthly × 12.
Annualised wages outside $20,000–$2,000,000 are treated as data-entry errors and left out of salary statistics (495 filings) but still counted as filings.
Percentiles (25th, median, 75th) are linear-interpolated over individual filings.
Employer names are merged when they differ only in case, punctuation or legal suffix (LLC, Inc., Corp., Ltd. etc.). Job titles are grouped after removing parenthetical notes, requisition numbers and trailing level numbers (e.g. "Software Engineer II" → "Software Engineer").
Pages exist for employers with at least 10 filings, job titles with at least 20 and cities with at least 50.
