H-1B activity in Maine. U.S. Department of Labor disclosure data shows 1,603 Labor Condition Applications filed on behalf of H-1B workers in Maine, spanning 322 distinct employers. DOL certified these petitions at a 88.5% rate, meaning the prevailing-wage and working-conditions attestations cleared preliminary review before USCIS took over final adjudication. That volume gives Maine a measurable footprint in the national H-1B program and a data-backed view of where foreign specialty-occupation workers are being placed on U.S. soil.

What employers are paying. The average offered wage on Maine H-1B petitions is $147,275. Because each LCA must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for the specific role and worksite, this figure reflects genuine pay commitments rather than aspirational market surveys, and it varies with the mix of occupations, wage levels (I through IV), and metropolitan areas active in the state. The single most-sponsored occupation is Software Developers, which alone accounts for 284 petitions at an average of $106,763, followed by Physicians, All Other and Registered Nurses.

Who does the sponsoring. The top H-1B sponsor in Maine is Eastern Maine Medical Center with 183 petitions at an average offered wage of $336,538, followed by The Jackson Laboratory, University of Maine, IDEXX Laboratories Inc. Taken together, the 322 employers active in the state form a concrete picture of which industries and company sizes rely on H-1B sponsorship inside Maine. Because the data comes directly from DOL LCA disclosures (public record), each figure is auditable down to the individual petition, a meaningful contrast with anecdotal labor-market reporting.
