Offered wages

University of Pittsburgh — H-1B salaries

Every offered wage disclosed on University of Pittsburgh's certified labor condition applications — 139 positions — grouped into $5,000 bands and cut by occupation and by metro. Percentiles are computed from those bands at read time.

Offered wages from certified Labor Condition Applications, grouped into $5,000 bands. Percentiles are computed from the bands, not from a stored average.

By occupation

Each SOC code the employer filed under, with its own percentiles derived from its own bands.

Percentiles are computed per occupation from that occupation's bands. They do not average to the figure above, and they are not supposed to — the all-occupations figure is the summed distribution, not the mean of these rows.

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.

The same bands, drawn. Shape matters: two occupations with the same median can pay very differently at the edges.

The same wages cut by where the work is, from the metro half of each stored band key.

Only bands recorded against a named city and state appear here, so these rows can sum to less than the total above.

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.

A level-heavy split toward I and II means the roles were filed as junior, whatever the job title says.

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 (139 positions); no median is stored anywhere in the dataset. How the derivation works.
