Top 100 H1B Visa Sponsors 2016
Salary is the average salary of all proffered salary on LCA or Form 9035.
Sometimes the visa sponsors (employers) does not enter a specific salary, but a salary range.
The number of LCA includes renewed, transferred and cap-exempt LCA.
Department of Labor(DOL) typically certifies more than 3 times the number of
foreign work requests than the number of H-1B visas issued by USCIS.

Look at jobs by location, by title, by employer.
Find the jobs for which you are qualified.
Then wonder why they are H1B.
What if someone organized unemployed citizens to apply for these jobs on this kind of site?
How could they then say citizens dont want these jobs?
I took a look and saw Caterpillar as a top employer.
Until now, I was a little bummed at the recently announced closures at CAT due to lower demand. I don’t feel bad at all for CAT if they are a favorite of the H1B ripoff artists.
So all I need to do to qualify for a good job is get an H-1B?
Work on a suntan and an accent.
That is some community organizing I could stand for.
They are constantly lobbying to increase the numbers of H1-B visas each year. It’s blatantly obvious that employers could find a US worker for almost all those jobs, they just want to pay less money and have a slave worker who cannot leave the job without having to leave the US. (If you come here with an H1-B, you can’t change jobs without losing that visa).
I took over a H1B position when the holder left. Reason I know is that my contract is in India and I’m listed as an Indian resource. My project and Department is 70% foreign born. I supervise an Indian and a Chinese and my direct reports are Indian and Chinese.
Welcome to America, inland foreigner.
H-1b kill it!
Slave Wage Arbitrage bump for later.....
Economists use the term “global labor arbitrage” to refer to the tendency of manufacturing jobs to flow towards whichever country has the lowest wages per unit output at present and has reached the minimum requisite level of political and economic development to support industrialization. At present, many such jobs appear to be flowing towards China, though some that require command of English are going to India and the Philippines. In popular terms, this is referred to as offshoring. (Note that “offshoring” is not synonymous with “outsourcing”, which means “to subcontract from an outside supplier or source”, such as when a business outsources its payroll or cleaning. Unlike offshoring, outsourcing always involves subcontracting jobs to a different company, and that company can be in the same country, even the same building, as the outsourcing company.)
In economics and finance, arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets: striking a combination of matching deals that capitalize upon the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices.
1983 to present I’ve been in many Fortune 100 companies where the IT department had plenty of budget for 3 big projects.
Each project manager would try to staff his project and not be able find enough people. The IT shop had 3 choices:
1. Kill one or 2 of the projects and move the people from those projects to the survivor.
2. Off shore 1 or 2 of the projects to India.
3. Hire immigrants (green, h1b, student visa, no visa)
Ive seen IT shops choose all 3 alternatives.
Why are IT managers who are conservative and want to employ citizens unable to find citizens willing and able to take 6 figure jobs?
We need to honestly deal with that question and find the answers.
I’ve taken several jobs where the IT manager was aggressively looking for many months and in one case over a year for a person like me to fill the six figure position. Eventually I became available and took the position. Ive seen hiring managers hold positions open for a citizen rather than give it to an immigrant.
1983-2012 I was always able to move to the next gig with no interruption between the gigs. Nov 2012 it was time for me to look again. After unsuccessfully looking in Illinois for 6 months I relented and took a job in Atlanta. I rejected many opportunities in TX for personal reasons.
Why did nobody in GA apply for the job I took?
Currently there are many IT and non-IT jobs in GA that apparently nobody is applying for.
And when hiring managers do hire a citizen, how often are they scraping the bottom of the barrel... people with IT degrees who have no clue of facts or logic, no clue of cause and effect? How often do they get a druggie? A couple years ago I ran through a series of trainees I was supposed to mentor. One was a paranoid Occupy Wallstreet type who lashed out at the VPs out of paranoia. And it reflected poorly on both the manager who hired him and on me, his supposed mentor.
Hiring Indians is a lot safer than hiring the bottom of the barrel citizens.
But the situation is more complex. I discovered when I came to Atlanta that recruiters assume that Americans will only take a job near their current home. In contrast, Indians will take a job anywhere in the US. CA, NY, GA are all the same to them. Even when recruiters see an American applying for a job a thousand miles from home, the recruiters see it as a low probability situation and do not follow up on it. Thus they discriminate against Americans.
It happened that I wanted the gig in Atlanta for political reasons, not IT reasons. So I kept pushing until a recruiter relented and arranged an interview for the job that he and I both knew I would get immediately as I was the perfect candidate and they had been unable to fill it for months.
of all of the things to hire a H1B workers for, Lawyers seriously WTF

I’ve dealt with these sponsored indentured servants in the financial sector, and the wages themselves aren’t much lower than Americans. Where the employers really find value is making them work much longer hours/workweeks than they could ever expect from American workers; these people work longer days, and often six days per week.
The gains made by American workers over the last century are basically gone for most Americans today.
