H-1B activity in Nevada. U.S. Department of Labor disclosure data shows 5,823 Labor Condition Applications filed on behalf of H-1B workers in Nevada, spanning 1,544 distinct employers. DOL certified these petitions at a 90.3% rate, meaning the prevailing-wage and working-conditions attestations cleared preliminary review before USCIS took over final adjudication. That volume gives Nevada 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 Nevada H-1B petitions is $119,915. 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 1,096 petitions at an average of $120,252, followed by Manufacturing Engineers and Computer Systems Analysts.

Who does the sponsoring. The top H-1B sponsor in Nevada is TESLA, INC with 552 petitions at an average offered wage of $120,506, followed by Credit One Bank, NA, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, University of Nevada, Reno. Taken together, the 1,544 employers active in the state form a concrete picture of which industries and company sizes rely on H-1B sponsorship inside Nevada. 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.
