H-1B sponsorship profile: The RAND Corporation. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, The RAND Corporation filed 28 Labor Condition Applications covering 28 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (28 certified of 28 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 RAND Corporation’s H-1B petitions range from $70,000 at the low end to $255,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $134,189. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Research Programmer, II (4 petitions at $107,605 avg), followed by Information Scientist, Sr. and Economist, Associate. 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 RAND Corporation is headquartered in Santa Monica, CA under NAICS code 541720, and places H-1B workers across 7 states, most heavily in VA, CA, NY. 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 RAND Corporation ranks. By H-1B petition volume, The RAND Corporation is #7,784 of 119,880 employers nationally and #1,140 of 22,893 employers headquartered in CA. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
