🔔 DOL Prevailing-Wage Determinations (FY2026 Q3, quarter-to-date)

Structured OFLC prevailing-wage determinations (ETA-9141) — the required-wage anchor for every U.S. foreign-labor program — read directly from the official U.S. Department of Labor Office of Foreign Labor Certification class-A bulk disclosure workbook at https://www.dol.gov/media/PW_Disclosure_Data_FY2026_Q3.xlsx. One record per non-empty case row, carried source-native with the value unmodified.

Output is one wage_determination_record row per result; billing is pay-per-event, the value event being one wage determination record (a $0.02 start fee per run, then $0.02 per wage determination record). Source: www.dol.gov.

What a record is

One wage_determination_record per prevailing-wage determination case: the case identifiers, case status, received / determination / redetermination dates, the visa class the determination is for (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3, H-2B, PERM, ...), the employer (legal name, trade name, NAICS, city / state / country), the job / occupation (soc_code, soc_title, onet_code, onet_title, job_title), the determination itself (pwd_wage_rate, pwd_unit_of_pay, pwd_wage_level, pwd_wage_source, pwd_survey_name, determination and expiration dates), and the primary worksite (city, county, state, BLS area). The record key is case_number.

⚙️ Sample inputs

1. Quick start — the Store example (this is what the sample above came from)

{
  "maxRecords": 50
}

The sample run charged exactly: 2 × $0.02 apify-actor-start + 50 × $0.02 wage_determination_record = $1.04 on the Free tier — every delivered row was billed.

2. A smaller, narrowed run

{
  "maxRecords": 5
}

Caps the run at 5 rows — about $0.12 on the Free tier ($0.02 start + 5 × $0.02).

3. A full-size run

{
  "maxRecords": 2500
}

Up to 2500 rows (the schema default for maxRecords) — about $50.02 on the Free tier ($0.02 start + 2500 × $0.02) if the source has that many.

🔧 How it works

Transport. Plain HTTPS from the Apify platform, no proxy. robots.txt is read first and a disallowed path is never fetched. Every request carries an identified contact User-Agent. Pacing: CRAWL_DELAY=0.0.

Terminal states. A run ends NORMAL, CAPPED (your cap was reached), PARTIAL (something was withheld and the message says what), GENUINE_EMPTY (the source was read and truly had nothing in scope) or BLOCKED (the source refused or changed shape — the run FAILS loud and bills nothing). A zero-row run is never reported as a silent success.

Charging. Each wage determination record is charged at the moment it is pushed (wage_determination_record); a row that fails to charge is not delivered, so the dataset count always equals the charged count.

A determination-case master across programs — not a filing dataset

The prevailing-wage determination is the upstream step that feeds every downstream foreign-labor filing — PERM, the H-1B LCA, H-2A and H-2B. This actor is a visa_class determination-case master across programs, not a filing or certification dataset. It is distinct from the PERM filings (dol-perm-green-card-filings) and the H-2A / H-2B certifications in this family; the flows are never conflated. A determination_note records this on every record.

Structural allow-list at ingest — person and contact columns never leave the source

The source workbook has 128 columns, many of them personal, contact, or free-text requirement data. This actor applies a structural allow-list at ingest: only organization/employer, job/occupation, visa-class, case identifiers, status, determination-wage facts and city + state (coarse) geography are read into a record. Every employer point-of-contact, agent/attorney, law firm, e-mail, phone, street address, postal code, province, FEIN, and free-text requirement/notes/travel column is dropped at ingest and never emitted — the code only ever copies the allow-listed columns, so a person/contact field cannot leak. This is verified by an offline test that feeds a row carrying agent/attorney/contact/e-mail/phone/street values and asserts none reach output, plus a live leak check on the real file.

Quarter-to-date — a living workbook, not a final file

This is the FY2026 Q3 quarter-to-date workbook: a moving cut refreshed through the quarter, not a final annual file. A quarter_to_date label rides every record and the run receipt carries the source ETag and Last-Modified as the vintage. The workbook's declared sheet dimension is padded with hundreds of thousands of blank rows; only rows carrying a case_number are data — blank padding is skipped and never billed (non-empty-row law).

💰 Pricing example

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02
Wage determination record (wage_determination_record)	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02	$0.01

Worked at the live Free-tier price:

• 8 wage determination records: $0.02 start + 8 × $0.02 = $0.18
• 25 wage determination records: $0.02 start + 25 × $0.02 = $0.52
• 2500 wage determination records: $0.02 start + 2500 × $0.02 = $50.02

A run that delivers zero rows charges the $0.02 start fee only. A BLOCKED run (source refused) fails loud and charges no value event. The start fee is charged once per GB of run memory; the default run memory is 4096 MB.

Yield on the sample run: NORMAL: 50 unique rows (0 duplicates collapsed) from Fri, 07 Aug 2026 17:33:18 GMT. billable=50. maxRecords is a hard ceiling on what is delivered and billed, never a target.

⚖️ Legal & ToS

This actor reads public, logged-out pages and feeds published by www.dol.gov. It collects only what the source publishes to any visitor, keeps to the source's robots rules (checked on every run), identifies itself with a contact User-Agent, and does not access accounts, private data or anything behind authentication. Use the output in line with the source's terms and your local law; the intended use is B2B research and monitoring.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need an API key or a login?
A: No. The source (www.dol.gov) is read logged-out; the input schema has no key field and the actor carries no secrets.

Q: Why did my run return 0 rows?
A: Read the run's status message. GENUINE_EMPTY means the source was read and had nothing in scope for your input; BLOCKED means the source refused and the run failed without billing a value event — retry later or narrow the input. A zero-row run bills the start fee only.

Q: How many rows can one run return?
A: Up to maxRecords (default 2500). Raise the cap for a bigger run; you pay per delivered row.

Q: How fresh is the data?
A: Every run reads the source live at run time; nothing is cached between runs. Put it on a schedule for a continuous feed.

Q: What formats can I export?
A: The dataset downloads as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS from the run's Dataset tab or the Apify API, and any run can push to a webhook or integration.

Q: How is this different from the other NexGen Watch actors actors?
A: Same output shape and billing model; this one covers www.dol.gov. The siblings under Related Actors cover the other sources or slices — run several on one schedule for a combined feed.

Q: Are there rate limits?
A: The actor paces itself against the source (CRAWL_DELAY=0.0) and honours its robots rules; there is no per-buyer limit beyond your Apify plan's concurrency.

🆘 Troubleshooting

• Run FAILED with BLOCKED → the source refused the request or changed its page shape → nothing was billed beyond the start fee; retry after a while, and if it persists open an Issue with the run id.
• Status says CAPPED → your cap (maxRecords) was reached → raise it for a bigger run.
• Input validation error on start → a field is outside the schema's allowed values → start from the Quick start block and change one field at a time.
• Run TIMED-OUT → a very wide request on a slow day → raise the run timeout in Run options or narrow the input; what was delivered before the timeout is still in the dataset.
