What is the H-1B prevailing wage for Anesthesiologists?

For the 2026–27 wage year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027), the Department of Labor publishes H-1B prevailing wages for Anesthesiologists (SOC 29-1211) in 530 U.S. wage areas. Across metro areas, the Level I wage ranges from $70,970 in Rochester, NY to $226,762 in Spokane, WA, and the median Level IV wage across 32 major H-1B metros is $368,410. Because the weighted H-1B lottery gives one entry per wage level, location changes the outcome: an offer of $295,048, the typical Level III threshold, reaches Level IV (four entries) in 5 of 32 major metros but only Level II or below in 15. 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.
