H-1B sponsorship profile

Charter Communications certifies 2,291 H-1B / E-3 wage filings through FY2026 — filing volume cooling. Below, how those offers compare to the legal prevailing-wage floor each role must clear.

The rest are set exactly at the prevailing wage — legal, and common among high-volume filers.

Filing volume by fiscal year

Filed across 5 legal entities under this brand — largest: Charter Communications, Inc. (1,199).

Every H-1B role carries a legally required prevailing-wage floor (the OES rate for that occupation, area, and level). The offered wage on the certified filing must meet or exceed it — so “% above floor” distinguishes employers who genuinely pay a premium from those who file at the minimum.

Green-card sponsorship record

Charter Communications has 663 certified permanent-residency (PERM) applications on the federal record through FY2026 — filing volume rising. The question this answers: does this employer put workers on the path to a green card, or only on visas?

Two public records, side by side

What Charter Communications filed with state workforce agencies, next to what it filed with the U.S. Department of Labor in the same period. The record speaks for itself.

Record one · state WARN filings

Charter Communications filed 13 WARN notices in MA, ME, MT, OH, SC, WI between Oct 27, 2023 and Jun 21, 2026, covering at least 1,493 workers per the published counts (source: official state WARN filings).

Record two · DOL Form ETA-9089 (PERM)

In the same period, DOL received 234 permanent-residency (PERM) applications from the employer that were later certified, of which 45 attested to a layoff in the same occupation and area within the preceding six months (source: DOL OFLC, Form ETA-9089 disclosure data).

DOL OFLC disclosure data

The PERM layoff question (Form ETA-9089, Section G) is scoped to the specific occupation and area of intended employment — it is not evidence of a company-wide layoff, and an application without the attestation is not a contradiction of a WARN notice. The two records are shown side by side without asserting any causal link. PERM disclosures lag receipt — applications received recently are largely still pending, so in-window certified counts are floors, not totals.

What this data is — and isn't

These bands come from certified H-1B Labor Condition Application disclosures — the base salary employers commit to on the record. They exclude equity, bonus, and benefits, and they cover only roles companies sponsor, which skews technical. Read them as a conservative, citable floor on what Charter Communications pays — not total compensation. Our sources.
