Source and method. U.S. Department of Labor, Labor Condition Application (LCA) disclosure files, FY2015 through FY2026. Each certified LCA filing counts once, regardless of how many worker positions it covers. FY2026 includes Q1 only (October to December 2025). Median wage is the median of reported LCA wages for this employer. An LCA is a required first step of the H-1B process and does not by itself mean a visa was issued.
