H-1B sponsorship profile
Expedia certifies 2,266 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.
Median offer sits essentially at the required minimum.
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: Expedia, Inc. (2,266).
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
Expedia has 1,797 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 Expedia 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.
Expedia filed 9 WARN notices in TX, WA between May 1, 2024 and Nov 21, 2026, covering at least 771 workers per the published counts (source: official state WARN filings). 5 are tied to the employer's federal filings; the rest are matched by the employer name on the notice.
- Nov 21, 2026· WA· 58 workersOfficial source
- Apr 1, 2026· WA· 162 workersOfficial source
- Apr 1, 2026· TX· 100 workersOfficial source
In the same period, DOL received 100 permanent-residency (PERM) applications from the employer that were later certified (source: DOL OFLC, Form ETA-9089 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 Expedia pays — not total compensation.
