Boston Consulting Group
PRIVATEThe Filing Footprint Is Bigger Than One Legal Name
Boston Consulting Group needs to be read through its public employer-name boundary: The Boston Consulting Group, Inc. and Boston Consulting Group, Inc. employer-name variants in the DOL records.
Across FY2020 through FY2025, those rows add up to 3,878 Labor Condition Applications. Including the FY2026 partial-year rows, the total reaches 3,947. FY2025 alone accounts for 650 LCA filings.
The USCIS series shown here totals 1,372 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.
1 total denial across all years (0.0% of filings) - too small to display on this chart.
The Employer Boundary Drives the Count
The Boston Consulting Group, Inc. is the largest filing name, but the full public footprint depends on combining the affiliated employer rows used for this page.
The peak year in the full-year series is FY2021, with 876 filings. FY2026 currently shows 69 rows and should be read as a partial-year value, not as a final decline.
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.
Workforce Context, Kept in Bounds
BCG's public filing record is a clean readout of how the program treats elite employers: a 100% approval rate on its LCA filings, with FY2025 volume of 650 LCAs plus 223 green-card labor certifications. The titles are Consultant, Project Leader, and Associate, the firm's own promotion ladder submitted as specialty occupations. BCG pays well above market, which makes it the control group for this investigation: even where wage arbitrage is absent, the program functions as a frictionless private hiring channel with a federal rubber stamp and a green-card leash attached.
The public workforce story belongs next to the filing volume, but it does not turn every LCA into a replacement claim.
No enforcement action against BCG appears in the records used here, and its sponsored wages exceed the BLS software-developer median.
The Labor-Market Signal Is in the Job Mix
The leading occupation is Management Analysts, and the leading job title is Consultant; those roles show what part of the labor market the filings reach.
For FY2025, the average H-1B wage in the filtered salary extract is $178,695, compared with an average prevailing-wage benchmark of $123,677. That is a $55,018 spread over the legal wage floor.
Where the Filings Reach the U.S. Labor Market
New York, Ny leads the mapped worksite list with 735 rows for this employer boundary.
Green Cards Add the Long-Term Tie
The PERM layer adds 896 labor-certification cases from FY2020 through FY2025, including 223 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.

- H-1B approvals: USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub CSV rows for FY2020-FY2023, plus FY2025 hub initial approvals where available.

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.
