5,000 certified filings with a worksite in this city · FY2021–FY2026 (through Q3)

Filings from Newark, NJ fall inside the federal statistical area NEW YORK-NEWARK-JERSEY CITY, NY-NJ-PA. That area is larger than this city — it spans several cities and, where the name says so, more than one state. Everything on this page is computed from filings whose worksite city is Newark itself, so the numbers above are city figures, not area figures.
Ranked by number of filings, not by pay and not by quality. This is not a “best employers” list. Employers with fewer than 10 filings here show the count only. 752 employers in total filed for a worksite in Newark; the 24 above are those with the most filings. Those with at least 10 certified filings have their own page; the rest are counted here but do not.

The table above ranks employers by how many roles they filed for a worksite here. This list is a different question: employers whose filing address is in Newark, NJ, that have their own page, and that are not already in that table. The two are not the same set — an employer can be headquartered here and file most of its roles elsewhere.

We build a page for a city once it has at least 50 certified filings — 2,578 cities qualify, and 2,298 of those also clear our content threshold and are listed in the city index. Below the filing threshold we do not publish a median, because a median from a small number of filings reads like a market rate and is not one. Those filings are still counted on their employer's page.
