How this is counted
These are the 6 occupations with the most filings, 1,762 of 1,816 cases between them. The occupation on a PERM is the SOC code on the form, which is the job as DOL classifies it rather than the job title on the offer. DOL still accepts two SOC vintages, so one job can appear twice under two codes; the code is printed for exactly that reason.

Why no approval rate
A band is a slice of the volume ranking rather than a population picked for having enough decided cases, so a band rate would be solid at the top of the list and noise at the bottom, under one heading.
Where this sits in the ranking
Ranked 21 of 5,571 by volume: 20 filed at least as many cases, and 5,550 filed no more.

Notes on these numbers
What these numbers don't say
5 notes
- The wage is the job, not the payer
- Their filings are led by Landscaping and Groundskeeping Workers, 1,500 of 1,816. The median offered wage moves almost entirely with what roles their clients file. A software developer and a poultry cutter are different numbers wherever they are filed, so this figure is not plotted against the field and no percentile is given for it: that comparison would rank occupation mix and call it pay. Wages by occupation are on the wages page.
- Nothing here is waiting
- All 1,816 of the cases on this page carry a decision date, because every row in DOL's disclosure files does, so a case still in the queue is in none of these counts. The live tracker that does see pending cases records the employer on each one and not the firm, so a firm's current queue cannot be broken out at all. Where the queue stands overall is on the processing times page.
- The approval rate barely separates firms
- This firm is at 98.1%. Across every firm with enough decided cases to carry a rate the median is above 99%, and hundreds have no denials at all. Placing near the top of that axis mostly means being level with the rest of it.
- None of this measures the advice
- It measures filings that DOL approved or denied. Whether the case was worth filing, what it cost, and how the firm handled an audit aren’t in these files.
- A median over 1,770 decided cases
- DOL works one national queue, oldest first, whoever filed the case, so this says when the firm's cases were filed at least as much as anything about the firm. Where the queue stands today is on the processing times page.
The window these figures cover: DOL's PERM disclosure files for fiscal years 2024 to 2026, through the third quarter of 2026, 373,939 decided cases. Nothing pending is counted here. How each figure is built
Filings newer than DOL's last published file can't be attributed to this firm until DOL publishes them. The live list on the case search page carries them by employer.
