Comcast
CMCSAThe Filing Footprint Is Bigger Than One Legal Name
Comcast needs to be read through its public employer-name boundary: Comcast Cable Communications, LLC employer-name variants, including misspelled duplicates in the source rows, in the DOL records.
Across FY2020 through FY2025, those rows add up to 4,611 Labor Condition Applications. Including the FY2026 partial-year rows, the total reaches 4,694. FY2025 alone accounts for 715 LCA filings.
The USCIS series shown here totals 1,955 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.
12 total denials across all years (0.3% of filings) - too small to display on this chart.
The Employer Boundary Drives the Count
Comcast Cable Communications, LLC 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 1,035 filings. FY2026 currently shows 83 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
Comcast's H-1B profile is the quiet corporate baseline: no enforcement headlines, just a steady multi-hundred-per-year filing base with a near-frictionless path, 579 petitions filed in FY2025 and 571 approved. The titles are internal grade codes, Engineer 4, Engineer 3, Manager 1, Software Development & Engineering, submitted as specialty occupations, and the worksites ring the company's Philadelphia headquarters plus its Englewood, Colorado engineering hub. Note the source rows include misspelled entity names like 'Comcast Cable Commincations'; even sloppy paperwork clears at a 98%-plus rate.
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 Comcast appears in the records used here, and its filing volumes are mid-pack for a company its size.
The Labor-Market Signal Is in the Job Mix
The leading occupation is Software Developers, and the leading job title is Engineer 4, Software Development & Engineering; 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 $129,370, compared with an average prevailing-wage benchmark of $129,255. That is a $115 spread over the legal wage floor.
Where the Filings Reach the U.S. Labor Market
Philadelphia, Pa leads the mapped worksite list with 2,144 rows for this employer boundary.
Green Cards Add the Long-Term Tie
The PERM layer adds 1,029 labor-certification cases from FY2020 through FY2025, including 184 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.

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.
