Understand this employer record
Certified H-1B filing history
The employer record contains 10,642 certified H-1B LCAs. DOL certification confirms an LCA decision; it does not establish a USCIS approval, a hire, or a current vacancy.
Latest recorded H-1B filing year
In calendar year 2026, the annual series records 35 filings and 161 worker requests. It groups H-1B LCAs by submission year across filing outcomes. Worker requests are not unique workers or confirmed hires.
That year includes 34 certified LCAs, 0 denied LCAs, and 1 withdrawn LCA. Certified includes certified-withdrawn records.
The median annual offered wage for that year is $186,466/year. This is a filing wage offer, not a payroll observation.
The annual series excludes records flagged for data quality. Years can have different coverage, and the latest year can be incomplete. Check the annual table before comparing growth or outcomes.
Offered wages and occupation benchmarks
Among the 44 occupation comparisons displayed here, Software Developers, Applications has the most filings (5,712). Its average annual offered wage is $141,960/year, compared with a BLS national occupation median of $101,436/year.
This is a bounded sample of occupation averages from LCA records across statuses and visa classes. It excludes records flagged for data quality. A BLS comparison is a benchmark, not a legal finding. Occupation averages do not describe every filing or establish wages paid.
Linked public records
Available linked records include 2 WARN notices. Notices report planned or reported layoffs; a link does not establish that H-1B hiring caused a layoff.
No federal contract record is linked in the available sources.
Available linked records include 16 court dockets. Inspect the docket for parties, claims, orders, and outcomes. A linked case is not a finding of liability.
Modeled exposure and official findings
The displacement model reports 12,742.179 worker-equivalent exposures for this employer record. This is a model output, not an observed count of displaced people or a verified layoff count.

How to read these figures
The below-BLS flags come from the stored displacement model. Its denominator includes all clean certified H-1B filings. It uses the latest national BLS year and mapped occupation codes. The current wage summary uses eligible positive wage offers and filing-year BLS matches. These counts have different scopes. Displacement is a model result, not an observed count of job losses.

Context & calculation notes
- 38% flagged below BLS in displacement model
The stored displacement model flags 4,018 of 10,642 clean certified H-1B filings with positive offers below the latest national BLS occupational median. It maps occupation codes before comparison. The denominator includes filings without a usable wage or benchmark. The current wage summary uses eligible positive offers and filing-year BLS matches. These counts differ. A model flag is not a wage-law finding.
- Layoffs and H-1B filings in this record
2 matched WARN notices. Compare notice dates with filing activity; these totals alone do not establish replacement.
- Related litigation
16 linked cases. Case allegations and outcomes must be assessed separately.

The math
4018 of 10642 filings below BLS median
1 notices filed
Σ workers×(1+wage_gap) + Σ WARN layoffs. 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. WARN layoff counts are government-reported.

Illustrative reference calculation · population applicability is not established
$6.1B
Range: $1.6B to $10.3B
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.

Layoffs & WARN
Inspect notice dates and reported job cuts alongside the employer’s filing activity.WARN notices (2)
Displacement signals (1)
Linked WARN notices and filing requests. Timing and location matches warrant review; they do not establish worker replacement.
Matched worker requests are not confirmed hires. The ratio compares requests with reported layoffs; it does not measure verified replacement.
Annual worker estimates & filing requests1 recorded years · separate count scales
Years use the WARN effective date when present. Otherwise they use the date this event was matched. Match dates show processing time. Notice dates remain on the source records and do not set this annual grouping.
Worker estimates sum the known counts on matched events. An incomplete year shows a known subtotal. Unknown counts stay --. Events can overlap; these are not distinct people. H-1B matched counts are requested positions.
| Effective or match year | Worker estimate | Events with worker count | H-1B requests |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20260 effective-date events; 1 match-date events | 217 | 1 of 1 | 443 |
Cumulative LCA requests and WARN layoffs
The worker comparison needs recorded LCA and WARN worker counts. Inspect source coverage for available records.
Each point adds all recorded worker counts through that calendar year. Blue: requested positions on H-1B LCAs by submission year, across all case outcomes. Red: reported workers affected in WARN notices by effective year. Both use one base-10 logarithmic count scale. Each major Y-axis step represents 10 times as many workers. Zero counts cannot appear on this scale; the table and CSV retain them. These are recorded position totals, not unique people or proof of replacement.
Totals start with each source’s first available count. Years without additional recorded counts carry the previous sum forward. Missing records and worker counts can leave totals incomplete. Quality-flagged records, undated records and WARN effective dates before 1988 are outside this timeline; source records stay in the archive. Open circles mark the current year and future periods as partial.

Changes between proxies
A second dated slate is needed to identify changes. The first stored slate is a baseline, not evidence of joining.
How the slate comparison works
Each year uses its latest dated stored proxy file. We compare the same person record across successive stored years. An added person is labeled joined. An absent person is labeled not re-listed. A changed set of roles or titles is labeled new role. A name match alone does not combine people. State registrations and insider transaction forms are excluded. Stored lists can be incomplete.

Evidence & sources
Source catalog ↗Questions about the data & methods
Has VMware LLC filed H-1B labor condition applications (LCAs)?
Yes. VMware LLC filed 10,642 H-1B labor condition applications between 2007 and 2026, requesting 11,905 workers, per Department of Labor disclosure records. This dataset counts DOL LCAs, not USCIS Form I-129 petitions, so it does not show whether any petition was approved.
How many H-1B filings does VMware LLC have?
10,642 certified H-1B filings covering 11,905 requested workers.
What does VMware LLC pay H-1B workers?
The average offered wage across VMware LLC's H-1B filings is $147,465 per year.
What worker-equivalent exposure does the displacement model estimate for VMware LLC?
A modeled estimate puts the figure at 12,742 worker equivalents (one per requested worker on a certified H-1B filing, plus a wage-gap multiplier, plus government-reported WARN layoffs matched to filings). This is a modeled exposure, not a count of documented displaced people, and it does not establish that any named worker lost a job.
Has VMware LLC had WARN layoffs?
Yes. State labor agencies recorded 2 WARN mass-layoff notices for this employer, covering about 434 workers.
Does VMware LLC hold state government contracts?
Yes. State procurement records show about $1,731,272 in contract value awarded to this employer across state agencies.
