Rows with fewer than 5 disclosed positions are shown because they are real filings, but a percentile over that few offers is an anecdote rather than a range. The disclosed-position column is there so you can tell which is which.

Prevailing wage levels
Level I is entry, level IV is fully competent and independent. The level sets the legal floor the offered wage has to clear.
| Level | Positions | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | 12 | 7.2% |
| Level II | 55 | 33.1% |
| Level III | 59 | 35.5% |
| Level IV | 40 | 24.1% |
Wages here are the OFFERED WAGE on the labor condition application — a commitment the employer made to the Department of Labor, not anyone’s actual compensation, and it excludes bonus and equity. Every percentile on this page is computed at render time from stored $5,000 band counts (468 positions); no median is stored anywhere in the dataset. How the derivation works.
