What is the H-1B prevailing wage for Mixing and Blending Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders?

For the 2026–27 wage year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027), the Department of Labor publishes H-1B prevailing wages for Mixing and Blending Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders (SOC 51-9023) in 530 U.S. wage areas. Across metro areas, the Level I wage ranges from $23,296 in San Juan, PR to $56,639 in Duluth, MN, and the median Level IV wage across 100 major H-1B metros is $57,159. Because the weighted H-1B lottery gives one entry per wage level, location changes the outcome: an offer of $51,252, the typical Level III threshold, reaches Level IV (four entries) in 10 of 100 major metros but only Level II or below in 49. 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.
