Who sponsors more H-1B visas, Boeing or Lockheed?

Boeing filed 56 certified H-1B LCAs in FY2025 and Lockheed filed 1. At least one of these is too small a number to support a meaningful ranking, so we don't declare one.

Which pays more on H-1B filings, Boeing or Lockheed?

Boeing averaged $134,181 and Lockheed averaged $211,932 across certified FY2025 filings. Median offered wage was $124,930 and $211,932 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 (Boeing: 7 name variants; Lockheed: 1). An LCA is a required step before an H-1B petition, not the petition itself, so these are filings rather than USCIS approvals.
