How to read these figures
Certified H-1B headline counts differ from the all-outcome client and recent-record lists. Median wages use records with a reported yearly wage. Mean wages and BLS comparisons use the certified filing summary. Modeled exposure is not an observed count of job losses.

About these record populations
This headline excludes records flagged for data quality. LCA certification does not establish a USCIS approval, a hire, or a current vacancy.
Annual totals include H-1B filings across outcomes and exclude records flagged for data quality. Coverage can differ by year. The latest year can be incomplete.
Industry totals include all LCA outcomes and visa classes. They describe employer filings, not the location or services of the law firm.
Yearly wage percentiles and annualized client averages can use different records. A BLS comparison is a benchmark, not a legal finding or a measure of wages paid.
Source listings show a filing relationship. They do not establish who signed a filing, current firm membership, or misconduct.
Filing activity
Annual totals include H-1B records with all outcomes. They exclude records with data quality flags. The latest year can be incomplete. Requested workers are not confirmed hires.

The math
12 of 23 filings below BLS median
. The 1.0 base rate per certified H-1B worker request is a site model assumption. Wage gap multiplier = (BLS median − offered wage) / BLS median, applied only to filings offering less than the BLS median. Related research provides context, not validation of these exact coefficients. This is a modeled estimate, not a count of actual displacements.

Firm and client court records
A filing or a named party does not establish wrongdoing. Direct firm records require an explicit active identity match to the named court party. A lawyer listed as counsel does not make the firm a party. Client cases stay separate.

The headline counts certified H-1B filings with reported wages. Matched client wage means use the same eligible source records. The model uses a separate certified population and does not measure observed job losses.
Percentiles use positive wages reported per year. Matched means use eligible annualized wages across outcomes. Reported client means can include other wage units and large converted values. Inspect the filing status and original unit.
Client wage comparisons
All outcomes and visa classes; flagged records are excluded from wage comparisons. Both means use the same filings with a positive annualized offer and positive national BLS median. Each record uses its reported SOC and the latest survey at or before its filing year. Records without a filing date use the latest loaded national survey. Missing benchmarks do not count as zero gaps.
Default order: number of individual filings below BLS. Annual shortfall sums positive benchmark minus offered wage once per filing, without multiplying by worker requests. It is not a measure of wages paid.
