H1B Pay

What did they tell the government they'd pay?

H1B Pay shows the wage every employer told the U.S. Department of Labor it would pay an H-1B worker, next to the legal minimum for the job. Search an employer and see its filings by job title and city. Free, no account, nothing to buy.

The problem

The wage is on file with the government. Finding it is the hard part.

Before hiring on an H-1B visa, an employer files a Labor Condition Application stating the wage it will pay and the prevailing wage, the legal minimum for that job in that area. The Department of Labor publishes every one of those filings. It publishes them as spreadsheets with hundreds of thousands of rows.

The sites that republish the data mostly show the offered wage alone. That leaves out the comparison that matters to someone weighing an offer: how far above the minimum does this employer file?

H1B Pay puts the two numbers side by side. One search field, an answer drawn from the filings themselves, the source cited on every page, and nothing to buy.

In the product

Every employer's filings, measured against the legal minimum.

Each employer page lists the job titles it filed for, with the range of wages it offered drawn against the prevailing wage for the same jobs, plus where the jobs are and when the filings were decided.
