WARN layoff history
1 WARN notice naming about 72 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: $158,858 median beats 74% of credible wage rows and sits above the $124,488 national median.
Dual-track profile
KLA Corporation is one of the rarer profiles carrying both sponsorship volume (177 H-1B LCAs) and WARN history (1 notice) in the same public record (Manufacturing) in CA. Weigh those signals separately.
Shrinking LCA footprint
FY2025 filings fell 17.6% from FY2024 (51 → 42).
Rising disclosed medians
Disclosed medians moved from $158,969 (FY2024) to $167,684 (FY2025) (+5.5%), weighted by this employer's own LCA rows — not a company-wide raise and not role-mix adjusted.

Where KLA Corporation sits
This employer among Manufacturing H-1B peers
Across the 200 Manufacturing sponsors in this corpus with both an H-1B filing count and a credible disclosed-wage median, KLA Corporation files more petitions than 90% of them and discloses a higher median wage than 75%, the high-volume, above-median pay quadrant. Filing volume is hiring scale, not pay; the axes are independent DOL OFLC disclosures (177 filings · $158,858 median here).

What to check before working with KLA Corporation
KLA Corporation needs a three-way read: H-1B pay (177 LCAs), safety (grade A), and WARN history (1 notice); none of those alone is the rating.
- H-1B median is $158,858 across 105 disclosed-wage positions (of 177 total filings), benchmark any offer against it and the metro prevailing wage. Compare with peers
- Safety grade A reflects a DART rate read against the Manufacturing average of 0.77 - a relative benchmark, not an absolute verdict. How grades work
- 1 WARN layoff notice on file, review the timing before counting on job stability. Reading WARN notices
KLA Corporation'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.
