Kforce
KFRCThe Filing Footprint Is Bigger Than One Legal Name
Kforce needs to be read through its public employer-name boundary: Kforce Inc. and Kforce Tech LLC employer-name variants in the DOL records.
Across FY2020 through FY2025, those rows add up to 5,895 Labor Condition Applications. Including the FY2026 partial-year rows, the total reaches 6,030. FY2025 alone accounts for 794 LCA filings.
The USCIS series shown here totals 3,061 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.
The Employer Boundary Drives the Count
Kforce 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 1,848 filings. FY2026 currently shows 135 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
Kforce is a publicly traded staffing firm whose product is placement. Aggregators track roughly 9,500 Kforce LCA filings since FY2015, ranking it around 45th of more than 9,300 sponsors, with a 99% approval rate and a median sponsored salary of $97,760, about $32,000 under the BLS national median for software developers. Its filed titles are internal grade labels like Advanced Software Developer and Senior Business Analyst, and community reporting has flagged its use of layered subcontracting chains, so-called fourth parties, in visa placements.
The public workforce story belongs next to the filing volume, but it does not turn every LCA into a replacement claim.
Subcontracting-chain reports are community-sourced and not adjudicated. The filing volumes, wages, and approval rates shown 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 Advanced Software Developer; 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 $118,893, compared with an average prevailing-wage benchmark of $114,738. That is a $4,155 spread over the legal wage floor.
Where the Filings Reach the U.S. Labor Market
Atlanta, Ga leads the mapped worksite list with 296 rows for this employer boundary.
Green Cards Add the Long-Term Tie
The PERM layer adds 1,352 labor-certification cases from FY2020 through FY2025, including 127 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.
