What the Data Says About University of Michigan

No OSHA record despite scale
University of Michigan sponsors 602 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.
Growing LCA footprint
FY2025 added 51 filings versus FY2024 (36.2%), a sponsorship expansion visible in the raw LCA counts.
No WARN filings
No WARN Act mass-layoff notices are on file for University of Michigan among Educational Services employers we track.
Rising disclosed medians
Disclosed medians moved from $82,054 (FY2024) to $87,908 (FY2025) (+7.1%), weighted by this employer's own LCA rows — not a company-wide raise and not role-mix adjusted.
