Wage values from matching LCA rows that state an annual pay unit.
Median $96,034
$40,186$300,000
86 of 1,000 matching rows with a wage figure are excluded (86 stating an hourly, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly unit) — DOL publishes the pay unit per row, and the figures are not interchangeable, so they are excluded rather than converted.

Which occupation these levels belong to
Most of these filings — 787 of the 1,888 levelled rows — were filed under SOC code 15-2051.00 (Data Scientists). That matters because a wage level is a percentile of the OEWS wage distribution for one SOC occupation and one area of intended employment, so these figures describe that occupation as filed, not every job that shares the title.
How much of this role’s data carries a wage level
1,888 of 2,109 imported LCA rows matching Data Analyst (90%) record an OES wage level of I through IV. A further 0 were marked N/A by the filer and 221 carry no wage-level field, which Form ETA-9035 Section F expects: an employer completes only one prevailing-wage source and only the OES option has a level. Of the levelled rows, 1,677 state their prevailing wage as a yearly figure and are the ones aggregated here — hourly, weekly, and monthly rows are excluded rather than converted. These counts cover every matching imported row, not the most recent 1,000 sampled for the wage range higher up the page.
These are observed prevailing wages on imported DOL labor condition applications matching Data Analyst, not a published wage for the role. DOL publishes the level figures per SOC occupation code and area of intended employment, and a job-title match can span more than one occupation, so read the spread rather than any single number as the answer. A prevailing wage is also a floor: the employer's offered wage on the same filing can be higher, and a certified LCA is a Department of Labor record rather than proof that USCIS approved a petition.

FAQ
Common questions
What is the H-1B salary for Data Analyst?
The median H-1B LCA wage for Data Analyst is $96,034 per year, across 914 annual wage observations in FY2026 Q2 DOL LCA disclosure data. The middle half of those filings falls between $81,206 and $119,682. This is an observed aggregate of what employers filed, not total compensation and not a legal wage-level determination. Retrieved from DOL OFLC LCA Disclosure Data on 2026-08-09.
What does the H-1B salary range for Data Analyst represent?
It is a 25th-to-75th-percentile band, not a minimum and maximum: of the 914 annual wage observations matching Data Analyst, a quarter were filed below $81,206 and a quarter above $119,682, so filings outside the band exist and are not errors. The band is computed only from imported DOL LCA rows carrying an annual wage, and may not represent total compensation or every worker at an employer.
How should I use H-1B salary database results for Data Analyst?
Treat $96,034 as the starting point, then narrow before you rely on it. Thrive Market is the largest matched employer filing for Data Analyst in this dataset, and New York, NY is the largest observed worksite cluster, so a single employer or metro can sit well away from the role median. Open the employer and city pages to compare counts, worksites, and source periods together. None of it is a legal minimum-salary determination or a guarantee about any individual role.
Can I use this page for H-1B wage level research for Data Analyst?
Partly, and the spread is the point: across 1,677 levelled filings matching Data Analyst, the median accepted prevailing wage runs from $73,174 at Level I to $141,773 at Level IV. DOL sets each level as a percentile of the OEWS distribution for one SOC occupation and area, and a job-title match can span more than one occupation, so read the spread rather than any single figure. This remains an aggregate salary view, not a legal wage-level or minimum-salary determination.
Why can wage fields vary across official records?
DOL disclosure rows can contain wage ranges, prevailing wages, different wage units, and different worksites. VisaSignal normalizes cautiously and keeps source caveats visible.
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.
