Understanding This Data

DOL LCA filing volume measures how often this employer filed for permission to hire workers on H-1B visas. It correlates with skilled-worker hiring activity; a decline suggests fewer new hires requiring sponsorship. It does not capture hiring of US citizens and green-card holders.
