H-1B sponsorship profile: City of Chicago. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, City of Chicago filed 14 Labor Condition Applications covering 17 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2025. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (14 certified of 14 filed), a useful proxy for how cleanly their prevailing-wage attestations pass the Labor Department’s preliminary review before USCIS adjudication.

Compensation spread. Offered wages on City of Chicago’s H-1B petitions range from $73,800 at the low end to $129,936 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $103,061. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Principal Operations Analyst (3 petitions at $80,452 avg), followed by Data Scientist and Service Owner. H-1B salaries reported on LCAs must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for the role and worksite, so the spread also tracks wage-level geography and seniority.

Geographic footprint. City of Chicago is headquartered in Chicago, IL under NAICS code 921190, and places H-1B workers across 1 state, most heavily in IL. Combined, these signals give a granular view of how one employer uses the H-1B program, volume, approval cleanliness, wage posture, and where the jobs actually sit on the map.

Where City of Chicago ranks. By H-1B petition volume, City of Chicago is #13,107 of 119,880 employers nationally and #656 of 5,284 employers headquartered in IL. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
