Deloitte Tax LLP

Applications are not workers

LCAs are employer filings, not USCIS petitions, visas or unique workers. Certified excludes certified-withdrawn cases. Requested positions may include continued employment and repeated positions. Employers are grouped by exact case-normalized legal name plus FEIN; subsidiaries and alternate spellings are not merged. FEINs, contact names, emails, addresses and case records are not exposed. Worksite figures describe the main disclosed worksite only, not all worksites. Median wage uses the offered lower rate for full-time certified filings explicitly paid per year, unweighted by positions; it is not an average salary or actual earnings. Other pay periods are excluded, not annualised. Counts cover unique case numbers with determinations during FY2025, regardless of filing date. When a case appears in multiple quarterly files, the latest decision date is retained (later quarter breaks ties), so repeated or subsequently withdrawn records are counted once.

Calculation

Count of distinct LCA case numbers, retaining the latest decision in the four quarterly files. Median = middle offered lower wage, or mean of the middle two, among eligible filings.

Wage population

Full-time, certified H-1B LCAs with pay unit “Year”; no annualisation, inflation adjustment or weighting by positions. Each median includes its sample size.

Limitations

No USCIS petition approval rates, unique workers, hires or actual earnings can be inferred. Only FY2025 is imported; historical employer trends are unavailable. Listed occupations and worksite states on employer pages are the top ten.
