What is the H-1B prevailing wage for Architectural and Engineering Managers?

For the 2026–27 wage year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027), the Department of Labor publishes H-1B prevailing wages for Architectural and Engineering Managers (SOC 11-9041) in 530 U.S. wage areas. Across metro areas, the Level I wage ranges from $85,634 in Springfield, OH to $186,264 in San Jose, CA, and the median Level IV wage across 100 major H-1B metros is $198,141. Because the weighted H-1B lottery gives one entry per wage level, location changes the outcome: an offer of $172,828, the typical Level III threshold, reaches Level IV (four entries) in 5 of 100 major metros but only Level II or below in 49. DHS projects selection odds of about 15%, 31%, 46% and 61% for Levels I to IV. The table below lists all four levels for every area, straight from the DOL OFLC wage file.
