Lead Data Analyst filings (n = 272) have a median 39% above the 10,020 filings with no level stated. These groups combine FY2021–FY2026 (through Q3) filings across employers and locations; they are not a personal salary estimate. Seniority labels in job titles are separate from DOL prevailing wage levels.

“Level as filed” is taken from the job title on the filing itself — we do not infer a level that the employer did not write down. A sample of 1 shows the single filed wage, not a median. Samples from 2 to9 show the count with the wage withheld; samples of10 or more show a median with their sample size. “(unstated)” means the title carried no level, not that the role is junior.

Ranked by number of filings, not by pay and not by quality. This is not a “best employers” list. 5,599 employers in total filed for this role; 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.

We build a page only for roles we can classify with confidence. The filings we do not classify are mostly three things: employer-internal job codes (“Manager JC50”), generic words that would make a useless page (“Analyst”, “Associate”), and spellings that appear only a handful of times. None of those can be grouped reliably —so we do not guess. To see every role at one company, use its employer page.
For the record: 866,533 of 3,034,814 certified filings (28.6%) reduce to one of our 29 role pages. That percentage on its own would mislead — the remainder is not a missing 71% of the job market, it is mostly text that cannot become a page.
