Every other salary site shows the LCA-posted wage — the wage for the position. Using USCIS I-129 petition data, we can compare that against the actual pay the sponsored worker received, and the prevailing-wage floor, across 18,797 matched Computer Systems Analysts petitions.
The median worker is paid 1.4% above the posted LCA wage, but the mean actual pay runs 17.1% above the mean posted wage — so the upside is concentrated in the top earners. 19.0% are paid above their posted wage, 79.8% at it, and 1.2% below.
Actual-pay data covers FY2021–FY2024 cap-subject H-1B lottery petitions matched to certified LCAs (aggregates only). Base wage excludes equity and bonuses, so it is not total compensation. Source: I-129 petition data sourced from USCIS, obtained by Bloomberg.
Of 102,807 filings, 1,672 are H-1B (temporary work visa) and 101,135 are PERM (green-card labor certification, 98% of the total).
