# Stevens County, KS (FIPS 20189): H-1B profile

> County profile: https://www.xh1b.org/county/20189

Employers in Stevens, KS filed 48 certified H-1B applications requesting 48 workers across 11 companies. The median offered wage is $53,040/yr. The largest filers are Stevens County Healthcare, Stevens County Hospital and James and SON Farms. The displacement model assigns 56 worker-equivalent exposures to these filings.

| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| H-1B filings | 48 |
| H-1B filings with wage data | 41 |
| Workers requested | 48 |
| US workers displaced (modeled) | 56 |
| Distinct employers | 11 |
| Filings below prevailing wage (share of compared filings) | 0% |
| Wage gap vs BLS | -22% |

| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Average offered wage | $69K |
| Average prevailing wage | $58K |
| Average BLS market wage | $89K |

County averages mix occupations and years. Offered wages and the latest available national BLS occupation medians are averaged separately over available records, so their populations can differ. This is a screening comparison, not a comparison of matched filings or a finding about an individual wage.

## US workers displaced (modeled)

| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Base rate (1.0 per certified worker) | 48 |
| Wage-gap multiplier | 8 |

These are derived estimates, not raw counts. The formula and every component are shown on the full HTML page.

## Modeled consequence estimates

**Conditional impacts associated with modeled displacement**

These are conditional population estimates scaled from Stevens County's current modeled displacement count. They are not observed outcomes, a prediction about any person, or evidence that this entity caused displacement.

20-year reference scenario: high-seniority male displacement effect. This is not an expected count for an unknown population.

Source-profile mortality point (deaths): 1.62351652273

No sustained excess from year 7 (deaths): 1.1586047686

Declared structural comparison; not a confidence interval or a model probability.

Baseline population: US prime-age men (45-54).

Canadian father–son firm-closure effect, applied to a US male lifetime-earnings baseline in 2024 dollars. The reference result uses 2 children per worker.

Baseline population: US male median lifetime earnings.

The mortality effect comes from a high-seniority male study cohort. Treat the count as a reference scenario unless the population matches. A mixed population needs a reviewed transport rule.

The range is the engine's parameter-support envelope: it varies declared parameters only and adds none of the exposure input's uncertainty.

### The math, limits, and citations

Illustrative reference calculation scaled by the supplied worker-equivalent exposure. Two children per worker; 20-year mortality follow-up. This does not establish that an entity caused these outcomes.

Exact values: excess deaths over 20 years 1.62351652273 (range 0.635789812869 to 2.82804718748); child lifetime earnings lost $27,035,005.60 (range $7,022,079.38 to $45,643,515.95);

The displayed range is a parameter-support envelope, not a confidence interval.

Place reference: national reference.

Not included: exposure estimation error; baseline estimation error; unmodeled pathways.

Blocked model paths: local_service_jobs_lost: requires a documented net local loss of tradable jobs; worker displacement alone is not this exposure.

Outcome statistics use the displayed exposure. Baselines, coefficients, annual family schedules and component records retain their source normalization.
