H-1B Labor Condition Application (LCA) Data
In 2023, University of Georgia filed 20 H-1B applications for Biological Science Teachers, Postsecondary and related occupations with a median offered wage of $87,271. That is 9.1% below the OEWS prevailing median for the same roles — at or below the broader market rate. These are DOL-certified wages committed to in Labor Condition Applications — not necessarily the number of visas approved by USCIS.
