WORLD RESOURCES INSTITUTE

WORLD RESOURCES INSTITUTE made 8 filings covering 8 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $128,570 a year. 8 of those 8 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

WORLD RESOURCES INSTITUTE filed 1 permanent labour certification between 2026-04-15 and 2026-04-15, of which 1 was 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.
