H-1B sponsorship profile

Kforce certifies 3,140 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.

Offered vs. prevailing floor

Median offer sits essentially at the required minimum.

Filings paid above the floor

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

Filing volume by fiscal year

Filed across 1 legal entity under this brand — largest: KFORCE INC. (3,140).

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

Kforce has 3,140 certified permanent-residency (PERM) applications on the federal record through FY2026 — filing volume cooling. The question this answers: does this employer put workers on the path to a green card, or only on visas?

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 Kforce pays — not total compensation.
