The worksite city on each application, from DOL's decided cases since FY2016. Spellings of one city are pooled; a city counts as one place per state.
Case data: DOL quarterly disclosure files (flag.dol.gov) · data through Jun 30, 2026 · quarterly Decided PERM cases only. A case still waiting is not in here, so counts and durations describe finished cases, not the queue.
