Seniority mix (OES wage level)
Filing volume by fiscal year
Filed across 2 legal entities under this brand — largest: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (9,457).
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.

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 Qualcomm Technologies pays — not total compensation. Our sources.
