The Pennsylvania State University
The Pennsylvania State University made 194 filings covering 194 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $80,000 a year. 193 of those 194 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
The Pennsylvania State University filed 31 permanent labour certifications between 2025-11-03 and 2026-06-30, of which 27 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.

One email when The Pennsylvania State University appears in a new quarterly release, or files a permanent labour certification — which is the signal that it sponsors green cards.
