Companies claim they must hire overseas workers because that's where their business is. The data says otherwise: MESA LABORATORIES INC /CO/ generates 47% of its $0.1B revenue from United States, yet continues to file H-1B petitions that displace American workers.
Base salary $777,981 • Stock awards $4,600,170. The CEO's pay package is funded by the same company that claims it cannot find qualified American workers for its open positions.
Revenue earned in the United States contradicts the claim that H-1B workers are needed because “that’s where the business is.” Source: SEC EDGAR 10-K, FY2026.
