What is the H-1B prevailing wage for Surgeons, All Other?

For the 2026–27 wage year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027), the Department of Labor publishes H-1B prevailing wages for Surgeons, All Other (SOC 29-1249) in 530 U.S. wage areas. Across metro areas, the Level I wage ranges from $58,802 in Las Vegas, NV to $225,056 in Phoenix, AZ, and the median Level IV wage across 46 major H-1B metros is $395,159. Because the weighted H-1B lottery gives one entry per wage level, location changes the outcome: an offer of $297,253, the typical Level III threshold, reaches Level IV (four entries) in 7 of 46 major metros but only Level II or below in 22. 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.
