Apple Inc
H-1B Labor Condition Application (LCA) Data
In 2023, Apple Inc filed 4,286 H-1B applications for Software Developers and Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers and related occupations with a median offered wage of $191,420. That is 56.9% above the OEWS prevailing median for the same roles. These are DOL-certified wages committed to in Labor Condition Applications — not necessarily the number of visas approved by USCIS.
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.
