What is the H-1B prevailing wage for Cutters and Trimmers, Hand?

For the 2026–27 wage year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027), the Department of Labor publishes H-1B prevailing wages for Cutters and Trimmers, Hand (SOC 51-9031) in 530 U.S. wage areas. Across metro areas, the Level I wage ranges from $19,740 in Cleveland, TN to $46,759 in Ames, IA, and the median Level IV wage across 100 major H-1B metros is $46,592. Because the weighted H-1B lottery gives one entry per wage level, location changes the outcome: an offer of $40,997, the typical Level III threshold, reaches Level IV (four entries) in 24 of 100 major metros but only Level II or below in 48. 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.
