Methodology

SOC 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) and 15-1252 (Software Developers) — the codes filed for infrastructure, CI/CD, and developer-tooling engineers. Only certified LCAs are counted (Denied and Withdrawn filings are excluded). Wages are annualized where filed in hourly, weekly, biweekly, or monthly units. Range wages are collapsed to the midpoint before annualizing. Employer names are grouped by a suffix-stripped normalization so "Google LLC" and "GOOGLE LLC" collapse to one row.
