H-1B Visa Wage Data
Employers must file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the Department of Labor before sponsoring an H-1B worker. These filings are public and include the occupation and wage offered — providing a useful supplement to BLS data, especially for tech, finance, and healthcare employers.

About H-1B Wage Data
The H-1B program allows U.S. employers to hire skilled foreign workers in specialty occupations. Before filing an H-1B petition, employers must submit a Labor Condition Application (LCA) to the Department of Labor, which includes the prevailing wage and the actual wage to be paid.
H-1B wages are particularly useful for benchmarking in tech, healthcare, consulting, and finance — industries that rely heavily on the program. However, H-1B data only covers sponsored positions and may not reflect the full market. Always cross-reference with BLS OEWS data for a complete picture.
