About this data

Methodology and trust notes

Job 360 page requests read from precomputed insight tables. Wage benchmarks use certified LCA wage fields only, while prevailing wage is shown separately for comparison. Public filing data may not represent every hiring activity, open role, or private employer decision.

H1B, LCA, and PERM filings can describe different parts of a sponsorship journey. Counts, certified offered wages, certified prevailing wages, approval rates, and scores are directional analytics for research and benchmarking. Users should verify details with official records, employers, or qualified immigration counsel when decisions require precision.
