Data · H-1BH-1B sponsors & wages
A snapshot of US H-1B labor-certification data: how many certifications major employers hold, and what wages they offer by occupation. Drawn from the SponsorLens API, which normalizes the US Department of Labor's OFLC disclosure files and links each record to its source.
How to read this data
A certification is a Labor Condition Application (LCA) the Department of Labor certified — it is not a count of workers hired or visas issued. One employer files many LCAs per role and worksite, and certification of an application is not a guarantee a visa was issued. Employer counts use name matching and may aggregate subsidiaries (e.g. "Amazon" includes Amazon Web Services). Figures cover the fiscal years in the dataset (roughly FY2024–FY2026, with FY2026 partial) and are a point-in-time snapshot. Wages are annualized from certified records; sample sizes are shown. Source: DOL OFLC public disclosure files — verify any record against its source_url via the API.

H-1B wages by occupation
Annualized offered-wage percentiles for certified H-1B records, by SOC occupation (June 2026 snapshot). n is the sample size.
| Occupation (SOC) | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Computer & Information Systems Managers (11-3021) | $155,873 | $194,560 | $222,925 | $238,150 | 50 |
| Software Engineer (15-1252) | $124,800 | $145,000 | $165,000 | $190,084 | 585 |

| Electrical Engineers (17-2071) | $102,191 | $117,652 | $133,658 | $160,030 | 83 |
The offered wage is what the employer attests it will pay on the LCA; the prevailing wage (the DOL-set floor for the role and area) is also available per occupation via the API. Smaller samples (e.g. n=50) are indicative rather than definitive. Query /v1/wages for any SOC code, state, or employer.
