State sponsor index
This view uses official DOL LCA worksite-state fields for California, so it is best for spotting where filing activity appears. It is not a promise that an employer will sponsor future roles.
How to read this state page
Use the state view as a starting point, then open employers for role, wage, source-period, and PERM context before drawing conclusions.

FAQ
VisaSignal lists employers with imported DOL LCA rows that include California as the worksite state. That is a state-level filing signal, not a promise that an employer is currently hiring or will sponsor a future role.
Start with the employer filing counts, then open individual employers to compare roles, worksites, wage signals, PERM activity, and source periods. The same employer can appear in several states when official LCA rows list multiple worksite locations.
No. A certified LCA is a Department of Labor labor-condition filing signal. USCIS decides H-1B petitions separately, so state sponsor pages should be used as research context rather than approval records.
The California filing snapshot rolls up the most frequent job titles and worksite cities across the employers shown, using the role and city fields from official DOL LCA and PERM disclosure rows. In recent California filings, the worksite cities that appear most often are San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, Seattle, WA, Austin, TX. The most common job titles are Software Engineer, Associate, SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, DATA ENGINEER. Read it as where recent filing activity clusters in California, not as a ranking of which employers are easiest to get sponsored by.
Yes. Every California employer shown here is built from free, public DOL OFLC disclosure data, so there is no paywall or login. VisaSignal layers the worksite-state grouping, the role and city rollups, and source-period caveats on top of the raw government files.
Employers here are flagged when imported DOL PERM (permanent labor certification) rows list California worksites, shown alongside their H-1B LCA filings, often concentrated in San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, Seattle, WA, Austin, TX. A certified PERM is an earlier step toward an employment-based green card, but it is a Department of Labor labor-market signal only — not a guarantee of green-card approval, a job offer, or future sponsorship.

Each state page uses the same DOL worksite-state fields, so cross-state navigation is useful when comparing nearby filing activity or expanding a job search.
