Connecticut

Employers in Connecticut submitted 123,153 certified H-1B applications requesting 259,840 workers across 9,957 companies. The median offered wage is $82,909/yr. The largest filers are Cognizant Technology Solutions U.S. Corporation, Infosys Limited and Wipro Limited. The displacement model assigns 317.2K worker-equivalent exposures to these filings. Separately, 3,528 layoffs appear in matched WARN notices.

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.

Excess deaths over 20 years

Illustrative reference calculation · population applicability is not established

9,123.35

Range: 3,572.82 to 15,892.21

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

Source-profile mortality point (deaths)
9,123.34806546
No sustained excess from year 7 (deaths)
6,510.77733194

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

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

Child lifetime earnings lost

Illustrative reference calculation · population applicability is not established

$151.9B

Range: $39.5B to $256.5B

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.

Context & calculation notes how the share is built

Share = filings by the top 5 employers ÷ all filings in this geography with a resolved employer. Filings whose employer is not yet linked sit outside both numbers, so the denominator can be smaller than the geography's headline filing count.

The share describes this one geography. A high share is a concentration signal for inspection, not a finding about any employer.

What the filing rows show One application per row

Each row links to the disclosure record. The wage badge compares an offer with available benchmarks; it is a screening calculation, not a finding of a wage violation.

Wages & occupations

Context & calculation notes wage sources and averages

Offered wages are employer-reported on the DOL record, annualized to year rates. Averages mix occupations and years: a geography-level average is a screening comparison, not a matched-role finding.

The BLS market median is the OES national median for the filing's occupation (latest available year). The prevailing wage is the employer's own attested floor. The two answer different questions and are not interchangeable.

The distribution covers positive offers with wage unit Year, across all outcomes and visa classes. It differs from the certified H-1B summary cohort. Hourly and other wage units are outside this distribution.

Medical workforce: licensed vs H-1B

NCSBN licenses BLS OES DOL filingsRecordThe two counts measure different things: NCSBN counts active state licenses (one nurse can hold several), BLS counts employed RNs. The difference between them is a gap between source counts, not a count of nurses not working. Timing overlap with H-1B filings does not establish replacement.
