How these numbers are made

The source is the U.S. Department of Labor's disclosure data: every Labor Condition Application (the first step of an H-1B) and every PERM application (the labor step of an employment green card) it decided. These pages use the FY2026 Q3 file, decisions from October 2025 to June 2026.
Only certified H-1B applications count, including those the employer withdrew after certification. Other visa classes on the same form (E-3, H-1B1) are left out.
An application is filed under a legal name. Filings under one name are added up by occupation (the SOC code the employer chose) and by the state of the worksite. A company with several legal entities has a page for each one with 20 filings or more.
The level is the prevailing wage level the employer filed, I (entry) to IV (fully competent), and “mostly” means the most common one. The wage is what the employer offered, as a yearly amount: the median of each occupation and state, averaged by filings.

What the data can't tell you

A certified application is not a visa: many never become one, and one person can have several. The counts show where an employer has sponsored, not how many people it sponsored.
Past filings are no promise of sponsorship for a job today, and the rules have changed since: see H-1B rules now. Ask the recruiter.
This is not legal advice. For your own case, talk to an immigration attorney.
