What this number does not cover

This is the DOL OEWS-based prevailing wage standard used for the LCA and the H-1B petition — not what an employer will actually pay, and not a market average.
OEWS reflects the overall wage distribution for the occupation in that area and does not capture skill or experience; employers within one SOC can differ widely.
This site bundles the 40 most common metro areas and 50-plus occupations. If yours is not listed, use the official OFLC Wage Search.

This page is a mechanical conversion of official wage data. It is not legal advice and promises no outcome for an LCA or any petition.
