H-1B Labor Condition Application (LCA) Data
In 2023, Radio Free Asia filed 9 H-1B applications for News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists and related occupations with a median offered wage of $81,741. That is 11.4% 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.
