What is in this database?
Before hiring a worker on an H-1B (or H-1B1 or E-3) visa, an employer must file a labor condition application (LCA) with the Department of Labor stating the job title, worksite and the wage it will pay, which must be at least the prevailing wage for the occupation and area. The Department publishes these applications every quarter. We group them by employer, job title, city and occupation so you can compare the salaries companies actually offered.
Salaries shown are annual; hourly, weekly and monthly offers are converted to a yearly amount. Medians use certified applications only.
