What does this H1B salary database do?

It reads the official public disclosure files of the US Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification, and returns the salaries employers filed for foreign workers:

• LCA (H-1B, H-1B1 and E-3): every labor condition application with the offered wage, the prevailing wage and its level (I to IV), fiscal year 2020 onward.
• PERM (green card): permanent labor certifications with the offered wage range, fiscal year 2024 onward.

Each row has the case number, status, decision date, employer, employer city and state, NAICS industry code, job title, SOC occupation code and title, full-time flag, offered wage and unit, the wage converted to a yearly amount, the prevailing wage, and the worksite city, county, state and postal code.

The data comes only from dol.gov, not from third-party salary sites, and it is read fresh on every run, so new quarters appear as soon as DOL publishes them.

• Job seekers and people on a visa check what employers really pay for a role and city before an offer or a negotiation.
• Recruiters and HR teams benchmark pay by job title, SOC code and state, and see what competitors file.
• Immigration attorneys and employers compare offered wages with prevailing wages and levels.
• Analysts, journalists and researchers pull clean tables without opening 250 MB spreadsheets.
• AI agents call it through the Apify API or Apify's MCP server.

Salary summary: median and percentiles

Set Output to Summary and choose how to group: SOC code and state, job title and state, SOC code, job title, employer, or employer and job title. Each row gives the number of cases and employers, the median, 25th, 75th and 90th percentile annual wage, the lowest and highest wage seen, and the median prevailing wage. Groups with fewer cases than Minimum cases per group (3 by default) are left out. For example: the median H-1B salary of software developers (SOC 15-1252) in every state, or the PERM salary range of the 20 largest green card sponsors.

How wages are converted

Yearly wages are used as filed. Monthly wages are multiplied by 12, bi-weekly by 26, weekly by 52 and hourly by 2,080 (40 hours a week). annualWage uses the lower end of the offered range and annualWageTo the upper end. A converted amount above $3,000,000 is a filing error (usually a yearly salary entered as hourly), so it is left empty and such cases do not count in summaries.

Personal data

The DOL files also name employer contacts, attorneys, agents and preparers, with their e-mail addresses and phone numbers. This Actor never reads or returns those columns, nor street addresses or tax IDs. Cases whose employer name looks like a private person, and PERM cases for live-in household work, are left out. A few small organisations whose name looks like a person's may be left out too.

Good to know

• Fiscal years. The US federal fiscal year 2026 runs from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026. DOL publishes a new file each quarter, a few weeks after the quarter ends.
• One row per case. An LCA can cover several positions and worksites; the file lists the main worksite. The same case is returned once even when it appears in two files.
• Offered, not paid. The wage is what the employer filed, which is at least the prevailing wage. It is not the final paid salary, bonus or equity.
• Certified - Withdrawn means the employer withdrew a case after certification. Leave it out (the default) for the cleanest salary picture.
• Speed. Case searches stop reading as soon as Maximum results is reached, usually in a few seconds. A summary reads the whole year, about 25 seconds for a full year of LCA cases.

FAQ

Is this the same data as H-1B salary websites? Those sites republish these DOL files. This Actor reads the DOL files directly, so it is as current as DOL, and you choose the filters and the columns.

Does it show whether an H-1B petition was approved? No. DOL certifies the labor condition application; the petition itself is decided by USCIS, which is a different data set.

Can I get all cases of a company? Yes: put the company in Employers, empty the job title keywords and raise Maximum results.

Is it legal to use? The files are public records published by the US Department of Labor for anyone to download. This Actor returns no personal contact data.
