Methodology

SOC 15-2051 (Data Scientists), 15-1221 (Computer and Information Research Scientists), and 15-1252 (Software Developers) — the codes filed for ML training, inference, and applied-research roles. Only certified LCAs are counted (Denied and Withdrawn filings are excluded).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.
