Who sponsors more H-1B visas, Uber or Airbnb?

Uber filed more, 757 certified H-1B LCAs in FY2025 versus 215 for Airbnb.

Which pays more on H-1B filings, Uber or Airbnb?

Uber averaged $191,199 and Airbnb averaged $187,212 across certified FY2025 filings. Median offered wage was $189,000 and $191,000 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 (Uber: 2 name variants; Airbnb: 3). An LCA is a required step before an H-1B petition, not the petition itself, so these are filings rather than USCIS approvals.
