About H1B Pay

H1B Pay shows the wage every H-1B employer told the U.S. Department of Labor it would pay, next to the legal minimum for the job. Look it up by employer, job title or city.

Why it exists

When you apply for a job or negotiate an offer, it helps to know what the employer has offered others for the same role. Those offers are public, but the government publishes them as large quarterly spreadsheets. H1B Pay turns them into a page for each employer, job title and city, and puts every offered wage next to the prevailing wage, so you can see which employers offer well above the legal minimum and which offer exactly the minimum.

Where the numbers come from

Before an employer can sponsor a worker on an H-1B, H-1B1 or E-3 visa, it must file a Labor Condition Application (Form ETA-9035) with the Department of Labor, stating the job, the place of work, the wage it will pay and the prevailing wage for the job. The Department publishes every decided application each quarter, and the site is refreshed after each release. The figures are offered wages as filed, not what anyone was paid. About the data explains what is counted, what is left out and what the numbers cannot tell you.

Who publishes it

H1B Pay is published by Goods Media LLC, a small software company in Fountain Hills, Arizona. It is free to use, with no account and nothing to buy. The site does not show ads today. It may carry advertising later; if it does, the privacy page will be updated first.

What it is not

H1B Pay is an independent site. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Labor, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services or any employer named on it. It is not legal or immigration advice; for a question about your own case, talk to an immigration attorney. See the terms of use.
