H-1B filed wages in Oakland, CA

4,855 certified filings with a worksite in this city · FY2021–FY2026 (through Q3)

Reported wages are what employers filed with the Department of Labor — not actual take-home pay. Filings are counted by worksite, so a company headquartered elsewhere appears here if the job is here.

How this city maps to a federal statistical area

scope

Filings from Oakland, CA fall inside the federal statistical area SAN FRANCISCO-OAKLAND-HAYWARD, CA. 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 Oakland 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. 1,100 employers in total filed for a worksite in Oakland; the 25 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.

Other employers with a filing address in Oakland

3 with their own page

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 Oakland, CA, 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.

Layoff notices in CA

State WARN notices

We have loaded California WARN notices (2018-11-15 to 2026-08-24, 13,739 notices). Layoff notices for a specific company appear on that company's page.

Which cities have a page

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 Below the filing threshold we do not publish a median, because a median from a small number of filings reads like a market rate and is not one.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.
