The Filing Footprint Is Bigger Than One Legal Name

Hewlett Packard Enterprise needs to be read through its public employer-name boundary: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company in the DOL records, a clean single-entity boundary. HP Inc., the PC and printer company, files separately and is not included.

Across FY2020 through FY2025, those rows add up to 3,588 Labor Condition Applications. Including the FY2026 partial-year rows, the total reaches 3,612. FY2025 alone accounts for 534 LCA filings.

The USCIS series shown here totals 1,231 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

The Employer Boundary Drives the Count

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 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 886 filings. FY2026 currently shows 24 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.

Workforce Context, Kept in Bounds

HPE's sponsored workforce files under Systems/Software Engineer, Software Designer, and QA titles across San Jose, Santa Clara, Spring, and Durham. The company absorbed Juniper Networks in 2025 after settling the DOJ's antitrust challenge on June 30, 2025, which folds another H-1B dependent filer into its orbit; Juniper's profile is tracked separately on this site. HPE's own record here is the corporate baseline this investigation keeps finding: no scandal required, just a permanent multi-hundred-a-year sponsored hiring channel running alongside the sector's routine layoff cycles.

The public workforce story belongs next to the filing volume, but it does not turn every LCA into a replacement claim.

No H-1B enforcement action against HPE appears in the records used here. A widely shared discrimination suit involved legacy Hewlett-Packard and a DACA recipient, a different entity and visa category, and is excluded.

The Labor-Market Signal Is in the Job Mix

The leading occupation is Computer Systems Engineers/architects, and the leading job title is Systems/software Engineer; 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 $140,225, compared with an average prevailing-wage benchmark of $138,357. That is a $1,868 spread over the legal wage floor.

Green Cards Add the Long-Term Tie

The PERM layer adds 613 labor-certification cases from FY2020 through FY2025, including 118 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.
  • DOJ press release, June 30, 2025: settlement permitting the HPE-Juniper Networks acquisition; MyVisaJobs employer profile for Hewlett Packard Enterprise, retrieved July 2026.
  • 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.
