Common questions
What is SOC 19-2031.00?
SOC 19-2031.00 is the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Standard Occupational Classification code for Chemists. The DOL Labor Condition Application form requires every H-1B filing to declare an SOC code, which lets us see which employers actively sponsor H-1Bs in each occupation.
How are H-1B wages determined for Chemists?
DOL requires employers to pay either the prevailing wage (based on the SOC + worksite city) or the actual wage paid to similar U.S. workers, whichever is higher. Each filing is also tagged with a wage level (I–IV) reflecting required experience.
