About

What Companies Actually Pay

TruthWage is a salary transparency platform built on government-verified data.

Our Mission

Every US worker deserves to know what companies actually pay. Unlike self-reported salary sites, every figure on TruthWage comes from a document an employer filed with the US federal government under penalty of law.

Where the Data Comes From

We combine three official US government data sources: DOL PERM (green card) labor certifications, DOL LCA (H-1B) Labor Condition Applications, and the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey. Together they show what employers declared and how that compares to the broader market.
