What this site isn’t

Four things, stated plainly, because each one changes what you should do with a number you found here.

This isn’t a wage determination

A prevailing wage determination is an official act. Only the Department of Labor issues one, through the National Prevailing Wage Center, on a filed ETA-9141 and against the job as you describe it. What this site produces is a reading of a published dataset: the figure that sits in a row of ALC_Export.csv for a given area and occupation, annualized at 2,080 hours.

ALC_Export.csv, OFLC_Wages_2026-27.zip, wage year July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027.

This isn’t legal advice

Nothing here is legal, tax or immigration advice, and reading it creates no professional relationship. The site is run by one person who isn't an attorney and doesn't practise in any of those fields. See about. If a wage question affects a live case, take it to someone licensed to answer it.

Verify in FLAG before you rely on it

Before a figure goes into a filing, look it up in DOL's FLAG system against your own worksite address and SOC code. Three things move a number and none of them are visible from a lookup table: the wage year in force on your filing date, the exact area your worksite falls in, and whether the cell for your area was surveyed locally or imputed from a broader geography. This site labels the third one wherever it shows a figure. The first two are yours to confirm.

The wage year here is 2026-27. If your filing date falls outside it, this isn't your number.

No affiliation with the Department of Labor

wagelevel isn't affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or connected to the United States Department of Labor, the Employment and Training Administration, the Office of Foreign Labor Certification, or any other government agency. It reads their published data, which anyone can download for free. Here's where.
