Seven US employers pay H-1B visa workers median salaries of at least $198,000, with the top payer reaching $255,725, according to an analysis by H1BScope of Labour Condition Application filings. The national median H-1B salary is $130,707, and the overall US worker median is $59,228, as reported by Newsweek. University of Pittsburgh Physicians topped the list, followed by Roblox, Citadel Securities, Netflix and others. The analysis, limited to firms with at least 500 certified filings, found tech giants like Meta, Apple and Google also paid well above the benchmark. Critics say these figures reflect a small group of senior roles, not a broad shortage of American workers.
