Overview
Every H-1B Labor Condition Application is public record, including the employer, job title, worksite, and offered wage — but the government publishes it as bulk disclosure files that nobody casually reads. H1BFilings loads those records into a searchable site, so you can look up what companies actually pay for a given role and city.
How it works
- Public data, made queryable — DOL LCA disclosure files parsed, cleaned, and loaded into Postgres with indexes tuned for the searches people actually run (employer, title, location).
- Salary transparency as a side effect — because offered wages are in the filings, the site doubles as a real-wage lookup for tech roles, grounded in filings rather than self-reports.
- Static-fast pages — employer and role pages are pre-rendered so the long tail of searches lands on instant pages.
Stack
Next.js with Postgres. A loader script ingests each disclosure-file release; the site is otherwise fully static and cheap to run.
