A clearer basis for your next decision
The wage distribution
Review the 10th, 25th, median, 75th and 90th percentile annual wages where published. Percentiles describe a distribution, not junior or senior job levels.
Employer filing context
See certified LCA filing counts, employer summaries and placement share. These records cover a specific visa-related filing population, not every local hire.
An offer conversation
Use the workbook’s offer guidance with your role requirements and compensation structure. Keep base wages separate from total compensation.

Know what the numbers mean
LCA records are filings, not actual hires or verified paychecks. Placement share describes the filing-level classification; it is not a definitive staffing-agency label for an entire employer. The non-placement average is a subset benchmark. Missing or small samples need care, and wage percentiles do not identify experience levels.
