What the Data Says About California Institute of Technology
Signature stat: WARN history
WARN history dominates: 5 notices put this employer among the 100% with the heaviest layoff filings in the corpus.
Heavy H-1B sponsor
California Institute of Technology in CA (Educational Services) filed 134 H-1B labor condition applications, of which 117 disclose a usable wage figure at a $77,250 disclosed median — a top-tercile sponsorship footprint in this corpus.
Growing LCA footprint
FY2025 added 21 filings versus FY2024 (53.8%), a sponsorship expansion visible in the raw LCA counts.
Below-median disclosed pay
Disclosed pay runs low: $77,250 median trails 90% of wage rows and sits under the $124,488 national median.
Rising disclosed medians
Disclosed medians moved from $75,790 (FY2024) to $89,171 (FY2025) (+17.7%), weighted by this employer's own LCA rows — not a company-wide raise and not role-mix adjusted.
No OSHA record despite scale
California Institute of Technology sponsors 134 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.
Dual-track profile
California Institute of Technology is one of the rarer profiles carrying both sponsorship volume (134 H-1B LCAs) and WARN history (5 notices) in the same public record (Educational Services) in CA. Weigh those signals separately.
Where California Institute of Technology sits
This employer among Educational Services H-1B peers
Across the 200 Educational Services sponsors in this corpus with both an H-1B filing count and a credible disclosed-wage median, California Institute of Technology files more petitions than 70% of them and discloses a higher median wage than 49%, the high-volume, below-median pay quadrant. Filing volume is hiring scale, not pay; the axes are independent DOL OFLC disclosures (134 filings · $77,250 median here).

What to check before working with California Institute of Technology
California Institute of Technology needs a three-way read: H-1B pay (134 LCAs), safety, and WARN history (5 notices); none of those alone is the rating.
- H-1B median is $77,250 across 117 disclosed-wage positions (of 134 total filings), benchmark any offer against it and the metro prevailing wage. Compare with peers
- 5 WARN layoff notices on file, review the timing before counting on job stability. Reading WARN notices
California Institute of Technology'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.
