# Randall County, TX (FIPS 48381): H-1B profile

> County profile: https://www.xh1b.org/county/48381

Employers in Randall, TX submitted 241 certified H-1B applications requesting 258 workers across 52 companies. The median offered wage is $72,000/yr. The largest filers are West Texas A&M University, Ibeam TECHNOLOGIES, Inc. and Guardian Healthcare Providers, Inc.. The displacement model assigns 524 worker-equivalent exposures to these filings. Separately, 210 layoffs appear in matched WARN notices.

| Average BLS market wage | $100K |

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.

## Modeled consequence estimates

**Conditional impacts associated with modeled displacement**

These are conditional population estimates scaled from Randall 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): 15.082831719

No sustained excess from year 7 (deaths): 10.7636975102

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 15.082831719 (range 5.90662960422 to 26.2731910792); child lifetime earnings lost $251,161,250.47 (range $65,236,688.43 to $424,038,474.82);

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.
