Who sponsors more H-1B visas, Amazon or Google?

Amazon filed more, 21,585 certified H-1B LCAs in FY2025 versus 8,161 for Google.

Which pays more on H-1B filings, Amazon or Google?

Amazon averaged $156,332 and Google averaged $186,733 across certified FY2025 filings. Median offered wage was $153,300 and $186,000 respectively.

How is this comparison calculated?

Both figures come from DOL LCA disclosure records for FY2025, filtered to certified petitions with annual wages between $30,000 and $1,000,000. Employer legal-entity name variants are grouped before counting (Amazon: 61 name variants; Google: 5). An LCA is a required step before an H-1B petition, not the petition itself, so these are filings rather than USCIS approvals.
