The change column compares each company's filings in Jan to Mar 2026 with Jan to Mar 2025, the same months a year earlier. "New" means none in those months last year.

Positions is the number of workers the filings cover. Some employers file one LCA for many possible openings, so treat it as an upper limit, not hires.

Companies on our layoffs tracker that also file for H-1B workers

Companies on our layoffs tracker with certified H-1B LCAs from Oct 2025 to Mar 2026. The filings came before these cuts. Filing an LCA is legal and does not show that H-1B workers replaced laid off staff. The LCA count adds up every filing name that starts with the company name, so it can be higher than the ranked tables above.

H-1B sponsor questions

Which companies sponsor the most H-1B workers?

Amazon.com Services LLC filed the most certified H-1B LCAs from Oct 2025 to Mar 2026, with 5,201. The top 100 and a search of all 25,865 filing companies are on this page.

What is the average H-1B salary?

Across the certified H-1B LCAs filed from Oct 2025 to Mar 2026, the median offered salary was about $131K a year and the average about $141K. Pay is the low end of the offered range, turned into a yearly figure where it was given by the hour, week or month.

Which jobs get the most H-1B filings?

Software Developers lead with 62,044 certified LCAs at an average of $153K a year. Computer and engineering roles take most of the top spots.

Which state has the most H-1B jobs?

California has the most, with 37,534 certified LCAs naming a work site there from Oct 2025 to Mar 2026.

Is an LCA the same as an H-1B visa?

No. The LCA is the wage filing an employer has certified by the Department of Labor before it files the H-1B petition with USCIS. One LCA can cover several positions, and not every certified LCA ends in a petition or a visa, so these counts show hiring plans rather than visas issued.

Where does this data come from?

From the Department of Labor's public LCA disclosure files. We count rows with visa class H-1B and status Certified, and refresh the page when the department publishes a new quarter.

Source: Department of Labor LCA disclosure data (opens in a new tab), FY2026 Q2 file: 203,416 H-1B filings, of which 183,993 were certified (the rest were denied or withdrawn). Updated Nov 11, 2026. Free to cite with credit to Work Insiders.
