H-1B sponsorship profile
Cummins certifies 3,101 H-1B / E-3 wage filings through FY2025 — filing volume rising. 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.

Seniority mix (OES wage level)
Filing volume by fiscal year
Filed across 1 legal entity under this brand — largest: Cummins Inc. (3,101).
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. Certified DOL disclosure data, offered base wage only; reusable under CC BY 4.0 with attribution.
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 Cummins pays — not total compensation.
