What a high listed-wage average means
The displayed filer order can reflect different occupation mixes, worksites, wage levels, and filing counts. The records identify listed wage attestations only; they do not establish actual compensation, hires, or an employer’s H-1B outcomes.
Use the employer pages for the current, source-backed listed wage fields. PlainVisa does not publish an editorial table of salary ranges: each value needs to remain traceable to an LCA record and its fiscal-year coverage.

Large Tech Companies: Volume + Competitive Wages
Large technology employers can have high LCA filing volume and high listed offered-wage fields. Those filing statistics do not establish workforce size, actual pay, availability of future sponsorship, or a pathway to an H-1B outcome.
An LCA's offered-wage field is an employer attestation. It does not establish total compensation, an actual offer, or an employment outcome. Browse an employer's current profile on PlainVisa.
Why Volume Leaders Don't Top Salary Rankings
Employers with high H-1B LCA filing counts can account for a disproportionate share of the extract while showing a different distribution of listed offered wages. This is a descriptive filing pattern, not a finding about actual pay or employment.
Differences in filing volume and listed wage distributions can have many causes that the LCA extract does not identify. PlainVisa therefore does not infer an employer's business model, client placement, hiring strategy, or actual compensation from those fields.
When comparing records, read the offered-wage field and wage level together, while recognizing that neither is verified payroll or evidence of a USCIS or employment outcome. Search any employer on PlainVisa to see its disclosed filing distributions.
High-Paying Sectors Beyond Tech
Technology can account for a large share of H-1B LCA filing volume; other sectors also appear in the disclosure records:
- Pharmaceuticals and biotech: These employers can appear in the LCA disclosure records.
- Investment banking: The extract can show listed wage and occupation fields for employer filers in this sector.
- Management consulting: Compare only the disclosed filing fields; do not infer client placements or future roles.
- Healthcare: Different immigration pathways have different source records, so LCA filings should not be generalized to the broader process.
Browse by occupation or metro to inspect the relevant disclosed LCA fields.
How to Research Employers Before Applying
LCA data can provide limited, source-bounded research context. Before targeting an employer:
- Check filing history: Read annual LCA volume as a historical disclosure count, not a promise of future sponsorship or employment.
- Read certification status carefully: It is a DOL disposition field, not a compliance rating or trustworthiness judgment.
- Compare wage fields: Listed offered wages and wage levels are attestations, not verified payroll or a complete compensation package.
- Check the job-title mix: It identifies titles in the filing record, not necessarily current openings or eligibility.
- Check worksite fields: They describe the disclosed LCA worksite, not a promise of a role at that location.
Keep the comparison source-bounded
Use a chart row as a starting point for a record lookup, then check its underlying filing volume and occupation context.
- Review the broader employer-filer directory before drawing conclusions from one wage field. Browse employer records
- Compare the occupations represented in the disclosure records. Browse occupations
- Read the wage-level definitions before interpreting a listed offer. Read the wage-level guide
The DOL LCA record is not a verified payroll statement, an employment offer, or a visa-outcome record.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies have the highest listed LCA wages?
This page ranks employer filers by their stored average offered-wage field in the current DOL LCA extract. A high listed wage is not verified actual compensation, an approved petition, or a visa outcome.
How is the listed-wage ranking calculated?
PlainVisa uses each employer filer’s stored average offered-wage field from the disclosed LCA records. It is an employer attestation in a DOL record, not verified payroll, total compensation, or evidence of employment.
Does a higher LCA wage mean an employer is a better option?
Not necessarily. An LCA wage field is one descriptive filing attribute. It does not establish actual compensation, sponsorship availability, petition approval, or a visa outcome.
Why do filing-volume groups have different average listed wages?
Employer groups can have different distributions of listed occupations, worksites, wage levels, and LCA filing counts. The figures are descriptive of the DOL extract and should not be used to infer client placements, hiring, or visa outcomes.
Are H-1B salaries publicly available?
The DOL disclosure files include offered-wage fields, wage levels, employer names, job titles, and worksites for LCA records. PlainVisa aggregates those filing fields; they are not verified actual compensation.
What is the difference between wage level I, II, III, and IV?
The DOL sets prevailing wages at four levels based on experience and skill for each occupation and geographic area. Level I = entry-level (17th percentile of wages). Level II = qualified (34th percentile). Level III = experienced (50th percentile, the true median). Level IV = fully competent senior/expert (67th percentile). Filing at Level I signals an employer seeking entry-level workers; Level IV signals senior or specialized expertise. See our LCA Wage Levels guide for full details.
