Professional & Technical Services

For Professional & Technical Services (NAICS 54), PlainEmployers answers the sector-level question a single employer profile cannot: is what you see at one company normal for this industry, or an outlier? The figures below aggregate DOL H-1B disclosures, OSHA injury records, and WARN notices across 19,405 mapped employers and 106,718 H-1B filings at a $112,750 median disclosed wage. Read the sector numbers first, then judge any one employer against them.

Largest indexed sponsors: Cognizant Technology Solutions US CORP, Infosys Limited, Tata Consultancy Services Limited inside a 106,718-filing sector roster. Safety inventory: sector average DART is 0.93 across 7 employers with ITA rates. Sponsorship intensity averages ~5 filings per tracked employer under NAICS 54.

Open each profile for salary mix, OSHA grade, and WARN history, then check the metro page for the same role, because prevailing wage is metro-occupation specific.

Professional & Technical Services totals combine every employer mapped to this primary activity: a high sector total does not mean Cognizant Technology Solutions US CORP or its peers are cutting jobs, and a low total does not rule out layoffs at individual firms.

Treat these aggregates as the starting yardstick, then drill into the individual employer records and source filings before drawing conclusions.
