Data: U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC), LCA Programs disclosure data, public disclosure file LCA_Disclosure_Data_FY2026_Q3.xlsx from the OFLC Performance Data page. It covers Labor Condition Application (LCA) decisions dated April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026. We downloaded it on November 13, 2026.

We count only H-1B cases with the status “Certified” (211,203 filings). Wages are the lowest offered wage on each filing, and only filings that state a yearly wage are used for wage figures. Employer names appear as filed, so one company can file under more than one name.

A certified LCA is a step an employer takes before filing an H-1B petition. It is not a visa approval, a current job opening, or a promise that the employer will sponsor you. ApplyOnBehalf only matches jobs to the work authorization you already have. We don't help anyone get a new visa.
