MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY made 215 filings covering 215 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $85,729 a year. 213 of those 215 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
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY filed 29 permanent labour certifications between 2025-12-15 and 2026-06-29, of which 28 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.
Where these workers are placed
Filings that name a secondary entity — a client site the worker works at rather than the employer's own premises.

One email when MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY appears in a new quarterly release, or files a permanent labour certification — which is the signal that it sponsors green cards.
