How about actually getting paid the prevailing wage???

hi nagesh,

It is quite common to get higher prevailing wages from DOL.  There are so many agencies, public and big private agenices, who reduced pay scales or not offering payes recently and that do not reflect at DOL.  Even public agencies, i mean state agencies, are not offering such scales.  I don't understand how DOL comes up with such high numbers.

 

your employer can request prevailing wages as many as they want for multiple positions.  It is only informational purpose, for employers to understand what the prevailing wages are in that area.. there is no cost involved, except lawyer's time and fee..  PWD will not state employee name for whom employer requesting.  So your name does not appear at any place on PWD.  A single PWD can be used for multiple employees also.

The numbers come from employers, who are actually required to report the salaries of their employees. So, these numbers ARE real. It is just that you seem to be working in a company that pays below standard...

That's right. USDOL surveys wages being offered in particular area as defined in OES database.

They get data which is completely unattributable though and some large employers in small area can skew wages.

The way USDOL PERM is laid out is your position + education + area determines the prevailing wage. Also to keep in mind is that usually the attoney will propose level 2 or 3 wages for EB2 position which are not very complex and managerial in nature. But again DOL can come back with higher wage, but OES is usually the benchmark. Also your SVP and other factors determine PWD. Employer can also challenge USDOL PWD in different ways using surveys and other methods.

Of course the data is anonymized.

Large employers can skew the data, of course, but that could be in either direction. For example, MS used to pay below average (I don't know recent data about it). With stock options etc. people still got paid well, but that didn't show up in the wage data.

As you said, there are some other accepted salary surveys/data collections that can be used.
