Read this before you share it

Ceiling
"Requested positions" is the number of workers the employer listed on its applications. It is a ceiling the employer asks for on a filing, not a count of people hired.
Legal
Filing H-1B applications is lawful. Nothing on this page alleges wrongdoing. DOL's file flags none of these filings as "willful violator."
Data
Source: DOL Office of Foreign Labor Certification LCA disclosure file for FY2026 (cumulative through June 30, 2026), limited to H-1B, certified filings; USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub, FY2026. Employers are matched by federal tax ID; the Hub publishes only the last four digits plus a name, so its figure is matched on both and may be incomplete. Page generated October 18, 2026.
