University of Kentucky
University of Kentucky made 121 filings covering 121 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $81,990 a year. 121 of those 121 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
University of Kentucky filed 17 permanent labour certifications between 2026-01-14 and 2026-06-26, of which 15 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.
