Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory made 100 filings covering 100 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $125,484 a year. 99 of those 100 state a minimum and no maximum, which is what an employer is required to file — it is the floor it is bound to, not a salary offered.

Green-card sponsorship

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory filed 8 permanent labour certifications between 2026-01-12 and 2026-04-06, of which 8 were certified. That is the step an employment-based green card starts with, so this employer does sponsor them.

A wage is shown against the prevailing wage for the library year the filing itself cites, not the year current today — measured against the wrong year, a correctly-filed wage reads as underpaid.
