The employer has to prove that they have tried and failed to hire a US worker qualified and willing to do the job for the prevailing wage. The complication is that some people think the existence of the H1B affects the prevailing wage, and the system is therefore skewed.

You’re probably thinking about the requirements for employment based green cards, which do require a labor market test. The H1B does not.
- foogazi 3y agoYes they do, H1B employer has to advertise the H1B job Companies list the H1B eligible position and salary internally and externally specifically for compliance
- returningfory2 3y agoNo, they don’t have to advertise the position. They have to disclose that they are hiring H1B workers. It’s a huge difference. In particular, there is no mechanism by which the disclosure can lead to a US worker applying for the job and blocking the H1B hire. For H1B there’s simply no labor market test.
