The Filing Footprint Is Bigger Than One Legal Name

Intuit needs to be read through its public employer-name boundary: Intuit Inc. in the DOL records, a clean single-entity filing boundary.

Across FY2020 through FY2025, those rows add up to 4,786 Labor Condition Applications. Including the FY2026 partial-year rows, the total reaches 4,911. FY2025 alone accounts for 697 LCA filings.

The USCIS series shown here totals 2,225 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

Intuit 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 1,392 filings. FY2026 currently shows 125 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

In July 2024 Intuit announced it was laying off about 1,800 employees, roughly 10% of its workforce, while repositioning around AI. In the same August 2023 through July 2024 window, the company filed 716 H-1B petitions and had 715 approved, a 99.9% approval rate. Its CFO has publicly defended the H-1B program as a source of global talent. The juxtaposition is the story: a profitable company cutting 1,800 people while importing sponsored labor with near-zero federal friction, concentrated in Senior and Staff Software Engineer roles in Mountain View, San Diego, Plano, and New York.

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

The public record does not show whether any specific laid-off role was backfilled by a sponsored hire. Filing volumes and wages here are from public DOL records.

The Labor-Market Signal Is in the Job Mix

The leading occupation is Software Developers, Applications, and the leading job title is Senior 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 $178,979, compared with an average prevailing-wage benchmark of $157,408. That is a $21,571 spread over the legal wage floor.

Green Cards Add the Long-Term Tie

The PERM layer adds 1,437 labor-certification cases from FY2020 through FY2025, including 317 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.

  • 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.

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.
