Worksite state for all H-1B LCA petitions

Coverage status: all 55 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and territories where DOL OFLC LCA filings appear are indexed below. National coverage is national in the strict sense, every state that has a single certified H-1B Labor Condition Application in the FY2023–FY2026 DOL disclosure files is present, derived directly from federal source data with no editorial filtering. Use the table below to drill into worksite-state pages for petition counts, employer rolls, and average certified wages per state. Each state row is computed live from the underlying employers and petitions tables, so figures reconcile cleanly with employer-level pages: summing petition counts across all employers in a state equals that state row's total.

Sorting defaults to total H-1B petitions descending so the largest worksite states appear first. The same data is also browsable by employer (full directory at /employers) and by occupation (/jobs), and the rankings hub at /rankings shows top-25 leaderboards refreshed live from the same database. For methodology, source detail, and known limits, see /methodology.
