What the Data Says About Cornell University
Signature stat: H-1B volume
Cornell University's most extreme placement is sponsorship scale: 177 H-1B LCAs rank higher than 99% of sponsors in this corpus (#256 of 51,370).
Below-median disclosed pay
Disclosed pay runs low: $79,893 median trails 88% of wage rows and sits under the $124,488 national median.
Rising disclosed medians
Disclosed medians moved from $97,592 (FY2024) to $113,254 (FY2025) (+16%), weighted by this employer's own LCA rows — not a company-wide raise and not role-mix adjusted.
No OSHA record despite scale
Cornell University sponsors 177 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.
No WARN filings
No WARN Act mass-layoff notices are on file for Cornell University among Educational Services employers we track.
Growing LCA footprint
FY2025 added 12 filings versus FY2024 (26.1%), a sponsorship expansion visible in the raw LCA counts.

This employer among Educational Services H-1B peers

Filing volume is hiring scale, not pay; the axes are independent DOL OFLC disclosures (177 filings · $79,893 median here).
