How to Read These Numbers
A certified Labor Condition Application is a step toward an H-1B petition, not an approved visa, but the volume shows which employers actually sponsor Paralegals and Legal Assistants roles in New York, and the wage is the offered wage the employer committed to on the filing.
Employers must set that wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for the occupation and area, so the $70K median reflects New York rates specifically rather than a national average. Compare against other states below before treating any single figure as the market rate.
