What is the H-1B prevailing wage for Forestry and Conservation Science Teachers, Postsecondary?

For the 2026–27 wage year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027), the Department of Labor publishes H-1B prevailing wages for Forestry and Conservation Science Teachers, Postsecondary (SOC 25-1043) in 530 U.S. wage areas.

Because the weighted H-1B lottery gives one entry per wage level, location changes the outcome: an offer of $102,237, the typical Level III threshold, reaches Level IV (four entries) in 2 of 100 major metros but only Level II or below in 19. 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.
