What does the H-1B salary hub cover?
The hub links to role-level salary pages built from imported DOL LCA wage fields, including medians, observed ranges, employers, locations, and source caveats.
Salary database
H-1B salary database by role
Start from a role, then compare official LCA wage signals with employer, city, SOC-code, and source-period context. Filing rows are useful research signals, not compensation guarantees.

DOL LCA rows
As of , the VisaSignal H-1B salary database groups official DOL LCA wage rows by role so you can compare offered wages, prevailing-wage fields, SOC codes, employers, and worksites before treating any salary number as representative. Need the row-level source trail? Use the H-1B LCA and PERM database lookup to search official disclosure records by employer, role, SOC code, city, or state. For required-wage context, read the H-1B minimum salary guide.

LCA wage data
Search H-1B salary and LCA wage signals
The salary hub targets database-style searches such as H-1B salary data, H-1B salary database, and LCA salary database while keeping the official DOL source trail visible.
Official LCA wage fields
Salary pages are built from imported DOL OFLC LCA records, including offered wage, prevailing wage, wage unit, job title, SOC code, employer, and worksite state/city where available.
Salary-level guardrails
For H-1B salary level or salary requirement searches, compare the offered wage with the prevailing-wage field, SOC code, worksite, wage unit, and source-period caveats instead of reading one filing row as a legal minimum.
Role-first browsing
Start with a role such as software engineer, data engineer, business analyst, or product manager, then compare median wage, observed range, common employers, and common worksite locations.
Row-level source trail
When you need the underlying filing rows, jump from the salary database to the LCA lookup and search by employer, job title, SOC code, city, or state.
Research caveats kept visible
LCA wage rows are official filing records. They do not include equity, bonuses, benefits, every worker in a role, or a legal conclusion about what any one employer will pay.

Wage-level context
Separate H-1B salary data from required-wage rules
Searches for H-1B salary level, salary requirement, or salary for H-1B visa can mean different things. Start with source-backed LCA salary fields, then check the DOL required-wage context before drawing legal conclusions.
Salary data is not the legal wage rule
The salary database summarizes public LCA wage fields. DOL required-wage rules still depend on the occupation, worksite area, actual-wage comparison, and any higher applicable wage law.
Compare offered wage with prevailing wage
When a filing row includes both values, read the offered wage alongside the prevailing-wage field, wage unit, SOC code, and city/state before using it for H-1B salary level research.
Use the row-level lookup for edge cases
If a query is about a specific employer, city, or wage level, open the underlying LCA rows so the role aggregate does not hide worksite, source, or wage-unit differences.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this an H-1B salary database?
Yes. The salary hub is the entry point into VisaSignal's H-1B salary database: role pages aggregate official LCA wage rows and keep links to row-level disclosure lookup, employer pages, worksites, and source-period caveats.
What is an LCA salary database?
An LCA salary database uses Department of Labor labor-condition records. Those rows include offered wage and prevailing-wage fields by employer, role, SOC code, and worksite; they are filing signals, not complete payroll or total-compensation records.
How do H-1B salary levels relate to this salary database?
H-1B salary level searches often mix two concepts: public LCA wage rows and DOL prevailing-wage or required-wage rules. Use the salary database to compare filing wage fields by role, employer, SOC code, and worksite, then check required-wage context before treating any row as a legal wage level.
Are these salaries the same as total compensation?
No. The salary pages use official wage fields from LCA records. They may not include equity, bonus, benefits, or every worker in a role.
Does an LCA certification mean an H-1B petition was approved?
No. A DOL-certified LCA is not the same as USCIS H-1B petition approval. It is an official labor-condition filing signal that should be interpreted with that limit.
Does a PERM certification mean a green card was approved?
No. PERM certification is one step in an employment-based green card process. It does not mean a green card, I-140 petition, or adjustment of status was approved.
Can this data prove an employer will sponsor a candidate?
No. Official filing history can show recent activity, roles, worksites, and wage signals, but it does not guarantee future sponsorship or predict legal outcomes.
