H-1B wage levels by job and area

What a wage level is

For each job and area, the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) at the U.S. Department of Labor publishes a prevailing wage at four levels, Level I to Level IV. A salary's level is the highest one it reaches for the job's SOC code in the area where the work happens.

Under the weighted selection rule, the level decides how many entries a registration puts into the H-1B lottery: 1 at Level I, up to 4 at Level IV. A dollar short of a threshold is a level short. How the levels and odds are computed. For a job or area not listed here, use the calculator.
