University of Southern Mississippi

University of Southern Mississippi made 5 filings covering 5 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $68,000 a year. 5 of those 5 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 Southern Mississippi filed 5 permanent labour certifications between 2025-11-24 and 2026-06-16, of which 5 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.
