U.S. Department of Labor's OFLC discloses 40 Labor Condition Application filings naming The University of Georgia from FY2023 through FY2026, drawn directly from DOL's quarterly public disclosure releases. An LCA is the wage-and-working-conditions attestation an employer files with DOL before petitioning USCIS for an H-1B worker: it is a filing record, not a USCIS approval, a job offer, or a confirmed hire, and the count reflects filings, not people, since an employer sponsoring the same role at more than one worksite, or refiling across fiscal years, is counted once per filing.

The Labor Department indexes each filing by the employer name typed on it, so a company that re-cases its name, drops a "The", or adds a trading name starts a separate record mid-history. Because that is the likelier explanation here, this page does not state a filing trend for its own record alone. Read the records together.
