H-1B sponsorship profile: Mercer University. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Mercer University filed 30 Labor Condition Applications covering 30 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2025. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 96.7% (29 certified of 30 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 Mercer University’s H-1B petitions range from $33,440 at the low end to $115,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $69,100. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Visiting Lecturer, Biology (4 petitions at $56,805 avg), followed by Associate Professor, Economics and Assistant Professor Biomedical Sciences. 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. Mercer University is headquartered in Macon, GA under NAICS code 611310, and places H-1B workers across 1 state, most heavily in GA. 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 Mercer University ranks. By H-1B petition volume, Mercer University is #7,343 of 119,880 employers nationally and #319 of 3,758 employers headquartered in GA. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
