What the Data Says About Block, Inc.
Signature stat: H-1B volume
Block, Inc.'s most extreme placement is sponsorship scale: 147 H-1B LCAs rank higher than 99% of sponsors in this corpus (#316 of 51,370).
WARN layoff history
3 WARN notices naming about 296 workers are on file in CA. Multiple notices can reflect consolidations — read them beside sponsorship and safety signals.
Top-quartile disclosed pay
Disclosed pay runs high: $206,820 median beats 90% of credible wage rows and sits above the $124,488 national median.
Shrinking LCA footprint
FY2025 filings fell 41.7% from FY2024 (60 → 35).
No OSHA record despite scale
Block, Inc. sponsors 147 H-1B positions but carries no employer OSHA DART rate here — at this filing volume the gap usually reflects recordkeeping exemptions, not a verified safety judgment.
Rising disclosed medians
Disclosed medians moved from $200,291 (FY2024) to $224,989 (FY2025) (+12.3%), weighted by this employer's own LCA rows — not a company-wide raise and not role-mix adjusted.
Dual-track profile
Block, Inc. is one of the rarer profiles carrying both sponsorship volume (147 H-1B LCAs) and WARN history (3 notices) in the same public record (Information & Media) in CA. Weigh those signals separately.

This employer among Information & Media H-1B peers

- 3 WARN layoff notices on file, review the timing before counting on job stability. Reading WARN notices
Block, Inc.'s figures are legally filed public records (DOL, OSHA, state WARN), not reviews or vendor estimates; a missing row is not proof the underlying activity never happened.
