H-1B sponsorship profile
Lucid certifies 2,446 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 4 legal entities under this brand — largest: Lucid USA, Inc. (2,369).
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
Lucid has 627 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?

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 Lucid pays — not total compensation.
