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

Wells Fargo Bank N A has 962 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 Wells Fargo Bank N A 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.

Record one · state WARN filings

Wells Fargo Bank N A filed 4 WARN notices in NV, OR between Oct 1, 2024 and Dec 4, 2024, covering at least 930 workers per the published counts (source: official state WARN filings). They are matched by the employer name on each notice; not confirmed in federal filings.

Record two · DOL Form ETA-9089 (PERM)

In the same period, DOL received 43 permanent-residency (PERM) applications from the employer that were later certified, of which 38 attested to a layoff in the same occupation and area within the preceding six months (source: DOL OFLC, Form ETA-9089 disclosure data).

DOL OFLC 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 Wells Fargo Bank N A pays — not total compensation. Our sources.
