United StatesAn analysis of Department of Labor data by H1BScope revealed seven employers offering H-1B visa holders median salaries at least 50% higher than the national average. These included University of Pittsburgh Physicians ($255,725), Roblox ($245,690), Citadel Securities Americas Services ($235,000), and Netflix ($226,158). The national median H-1B salary was $130,707, which is over double the overall U.S. median salary of $59,228. The study focused on employers with at least 500 certified H-1B filings and used median salaries to reflect typical earnings rather than outliers. Major tech, finance, and healthcare companies dominated the list, with firms like Meta, Apple, and Google also showing high median salaries. The report highlights ongoing changes to the H-1B visa program under the Trump administration, including proposed reforms to prioritize higher-paid applicants.
