Wage year 2026-27
The data is public. Take it.
Nothing on this site is behind a gate, and nothing on it is exclusive. The wage file is a free federal download and you don't need this site to read it.
Where to download it
The Office of Foreign Labor Certification publishes the wage data at flag.dol.gov. The archive this site reads is OFLC_Wages_2026-27.zip. It's a zip, it contains the wage table plus the geography and occupation reference files, and it's a US Government work, so it isn't under copyright. Download it, load it into anything, redistribute it.
The same page carries a lookup form if you only need one figure. For a single worksite and a single SOC code, DOL's own form is the authoritative route and this site isn't a substitute for it.

So the figures aren't the product
They can't be. Anyone can download the same file this site reads, and a lookup that copies a public row and charges for it isn't worth anyone's attention. What this site adds is the derivation.
- Which level applies. The file gives four figures per cell. It doesn't say which one binds for a given job. That runs off the occupation's Job Zone, its usual entry education, and what the employer requires beyond both, worked step by step so you can see where a step came from.
- Whether the figure is local. 257,043 of the 449,440 rows, 57.2% of the file, are imputed from a broader geography rather than surveyed for the area named on them. The raw file says so in a column most tools drop. This site says it next to the number.
- What employers actually filed. The wage file is a floor. The FY2025 Q1 to Q4 disclosure data, 103,285 certified filings, is what got offered against that floor and at which level. That comparison is in a different workbook and joining the two is most of the work.
The method for all three is on methodology, including the parts of it that aren't finished.
