Which US cities have the most H-1B filings for Economists?
From October 2025 to June 2026: New York, NY (127), Boston, MA (56), Seattle, WA (56), Washington, DC (51), Chicago, IL (32). 502 certified applications named a worksite in 26 cities in all.
Does a filing mean the employer will sponsor my visa?
No. A certified Labor Condition Application is the step before an H-1B petition, not a visa approval, and it is about the employer, not a particular opening. Confirm sponsorship for the role you apply to.
Where does this data come from?
From the US Department of Labor's LCA disclosure data, FY2026 Q3, counting applications certified from October 2025 to June 2026. We check for new data every week.
