FAQs
What is the SOC code for Business Analyst?
Which code should a Business Analyst job use?
The titles employers typed come from DOL's PERM, prevailing wage and LCA disclosure files (PERM cases decided 2023-10-01 to 2026-06-30; wage requests and LCAs of fiscal years 2024 to 2026). This page also includes information from the O*NET 31.0 Database by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (USDOL/ETA), used under the CC BY 4.0 license. O*NET® is a trademark of USDOL/ETA. PERM Tracker has modified this information (its titles are matched to the titles in DOL's files); what changed. USDOL/ETA has not approved, endorsed, or tested these modifications.

What each source includes
Case data: Decided PERM cases only. A case still waiting isn't in here, so counts and durations describe finished cases.
Wage determinations: Decided prevailing wage requests only, with the wage DOL determined. Pending requests are absent.
LCA disclosures: Certified and denied H-1B labor condition applications only, with the wage offered.
O*NET occupation data: What O*NET says each occupation is and takes: its description, tasks, Job Zone and the education workers report. A description of the job everywhere, not of any one employer's opening.
