What is the H-1B prevailing wage for Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers?

For the 2026–27 wage year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027), the Department of Labor publishes H-1B prevailing wages for Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers (SOC 51-6092) in 530 U.S. wage areas. Across metro areas, the Level I wage ranges from $23,109 in Abilene, TX to $60,029 in Albany, NY, and the median Level IV wage across 100 major H-1B metros is $88,130. Because the weighted H-1B lottery gives one entry per wage level, location changes the outcome: an offer of $71,261, the typical Level III threshold, reaches Level IV (four entries) in 28 of 100 major metros but only Level II or below in 17. 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.
