What This Measures

DOL requires every Labor Condition Application to state whether the H-1B worker's actual worksite is the petitioning employer's own location or a client's site under a staffing or consulting arrangement. This page reports that field only, it is not a measure of job security, legitimacy, or employer quality. Third-party placement is a normal, lawful business model in IT staffing and consulting, and a low or 0% rate simply means Software Developers roles are more often filed for the employer's own offices rather than client engagements.

What it can tell you: whether a Software Developers H-1B offer is more likely to mean working at the sponsoring employer's own office, or being placed at a separate client company's site.
