H-1B sponsorship profile: The Kroger Company. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, The Kroger Company filed 240 Labor Condition Applications covering 240 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 98.8% (237 certified of 240 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 The Kroger Company’s H-1B petitions range from $65,000 at the low end to $199,002 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $130,923. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Senior Software Engineer (66 petitions at $128,959 avg), followed by Senior Quality Engineer and Advanced Software Engineer. 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. The Kroger Company is headquartered in Blue Ash, OH under NAICS code 4451, and places H-1B workers across 7 states, most heavily in OH, TN, AZ. 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 The Kroger Company ranks. By H-1B petition volume, The Kroger Company is #834 of 119,880 employers nationally and #16 of 2,390 employers headquartered in OH. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
