Built on real Department of Labor wage filings and Bureau of Labor Statistics data — plus everything else that actually goes into the decision, from real government sources.
Two independent government wage sources compared side by side, with a plain-English target range to ask for.
Cost of living, rent, state income tax, school enrollment, climate, commute, political lean, and a relocation-cost estimate for the metro.
Hiring trend, visa-sponsorship reliability, and political giving — name a company and we'll look it up.
Wage data: U.S. Department of Labor OFLC LCA Disclosure Data and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS. LCA filings reflect sponsored-worker wage offers, which skew toward mid-large employers and specific occupations — treat any estimate built from a small sample cautiously. Informational only; not legal, immigration, or financial advice.
