H-1B Labor Condition Application (LCA) Data
In 2023, AMAZON WEB SERVICES, INC. filed 575 H-1B applications for Software Developers and related occupations with a median offered wage of $148,175.

Filings by Occupation (2023)
"vs Market" compares this employer's certified median to the OEWS national median wage for the same occupation. A negative number means the certified H-1B wage trails the broader U.S. market for that role.
