Google filed more, 8,161 certified H-1B LCAs in FY2025 versus 6,669 for Apple.

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

Google averaged $186,733 and Apple averaged $176,853 across certified FY2025 filings. Median offered wage was $186,000 and $175,800 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 (Google: 5 name variants; Apple: 1). An LCA is a required step before an H-1B petition, not the petition itself, so these are filings rather than USCIS approvals.
