Accenture's Outsourcing Scale Shows Up in LCAs

Accenture is built to move labor across clients, projects, and geographies. The employer boundary used here is Accenture LLP and related Accenture employer-name variants in DOL records.

Across FY2020 through FY2025, those rows add up to 22,896 Labor Condition Applications. Including the FY2026 partial-year rows, the total reaches 23,779. FY2025 alone accounts for 2,939 LCA filings.

The USCIS series shown here totals 10,844 approvals across the available approval rows. Where FY2025 rows are initial approvals only, the page labels them that way. LCA filings are not headcount, hired workers, or proof that a specific American worker was replaced.

H-1B Approval Rate Over Time

One Main Filing Name, Many Client Markets

Accenture LLP drives nearly the whole profile, which makes the scale easier to see and harder to dismiss as entity noise.

The peak year in the full-year series is FY2020, with 6,203 filings. FY2026 currently shows 883 rows and should be read as a partial-year value, not as a final decline.

Workforce Share Not Used
Metric intentionally suppressed

This site no longer charts H-1B filings as a share of workforce. The ratio can blur U.S. employees, global employees, contractors, and offshore delivery headcount into one denominator.

Rows with a disclosed U.S.-employee denominator available here: 0. The analysis now uses filings, approvals, wage, worksite, and title concentration instead.

AI Restructuring Raises the Stakes

2025 reporting says Accenture cut thousands of jobs as part of an AI and reskilling restructuring. That makes the high-volume filing profile especially sensitive, without proving replacement.

Accenture's reported AI and reskilling restructuring makes the filing volume politically important even without a one-for-one replacement claim.

Accenture's AI restructuring should not be equated with individual H-1B filings.

The Job Mix Looks Like Delivery Labor

The leading occupation is Computer Systems Analysts; the leading title is Computer Systems Analyst 3. The profile reads like the labor spine of an IT services firm.

For FY2025, the average H-1B wage in the filtered salary extract is $135,640, compared with an average prevailing-wage benchmark of $118,742. That is a $16,898 spread over the legal wage floor.

Client Delivery Shows Up Everywhere

Atlanta, Ga leads the mapped worksites with 868 rows, but the list quickly spreads across the client markets where Accenture sells delivery capacity.

Accenture Also Uses the Long Sponsorship Path

Accenture's PERM layer totals 2,108 cases from FY2020 through FY2025, including 332 in FY2025.

PERM records are a different process from H-1B petitions, but they matter because the sponsorship timeline can tie a worker to an employer for years.

Data Sources
  • LCA filings and salary data: DOL OFLC disclosure rows mapped by the employer-name boundary used for this investigation.
  • H-1B approvals: USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub CSV rows for FY2020-FY2023, plus FY2025 hub initial approvals where available.
  • PERM data: DOL OFLC PERM disclosure rows mapped with the same employer-name boundary.
  • Reuters-syndicated Accenture restructuring context, Sept. 2025.
  • BLS wage comparison: OEWS May 2023 national median for software developers.

Caveat: LCA filings are not H-1B petitions or hired workers. FY2025 USCIS hub rows are initial approvals only, so denial rates are not computed for those rows.
