Reading Industry-Level H-1B Data
Industry here is NAICS code 5417, the classification the employer reported on the filing itself, so this counts every California employer that classified itself in Scientific Research and Development Services, not a curated list.
A certified Labor Condition Application is a step toward an H-1B petition, not an approved visa. Wages are the offered wage, which the employer must set at or above the DOL prevailing wage for the role and area, so the $135K median reflects California rates rather than a national figure.
