What is the H-1B prevailing wage for Log Graders and Scalers?

For the 2026–27 wage year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027), the Department of Labor publishes H-1B prevailing wages for Log Graders and Scalers (SOC 45-4023) in 530 U.S. wage areas. Across metro areas, the Level I wage ranges from $24,295 in Valdosta, GA to $56,784 in Longview, WA, and the median Level IV wage across 98 major H-1B metros is $53,935. Because the weighted H-1B lottery gives one entry per wage level, location changes the outcome: an offer of $47,716, the typical Level III threshold, reaches Level IV (four entries) in 22 of 98 major metros but only Level II or below in 32. 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.
