Irvine, CA

Irvine, CA, CA has 426 distinct employers in the PlainEmployers index, assembled from U.S. Department of Labor H-1B disclosures, OSHA injury logs, and WARN Act mass-layoff notices filed with state workforce agencies. The average median H-1B wage disclosed across this metro is $144,624, a figure anchored by federal prevailing-wage rules that force employers to pay visa-sponsored workers at least the going rate for the specific occupation and metro combination. Metro-level aggregates are especially useful for relocation research, because DOL prevailing wages are metro-specific — the same employer and job title can disclose a materially different salary in Irvine, CA versus an adjacent metro.
