What is the H-1B prevailing wage for Packers and Packagers, Hand?

For the 2026–27 wage year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027), the Department of Labor publishes H-1B prevailing wages for Packers and Packagers, Hand (SOC 53-7064) in 530 U.S. wage areas. Across metro areas, the Level I wage ranges from $18,658 in Manhattan, KS to $38,335 in Greeley, CO, and the median Level IV wage across 100 major H-1B metros is $40,456. Because the weighted H-1B lottery gives one entry per wage level, location changes the outcome: an offer of $37,440, the typical Level III threshold, reaches Level IV (four entries) in 14 of 100 major metros but only Level II or below in 48.
