The state breakdown table on this page shows where Environmental Economist H1B filings are concentrated, along with average certified salaries by state. California, Texas, New York, and Washington are typically among the top states for H1B sponsorship across most tech and professional roles.
Most Environmental Economist H1B petitions are filed at Level II or Level III. Level III (50th percentile) carries the lowest USCIS denial risk for experienced candidates. Entry-level positions filed at Level I (17th percentile) face higher scrutiny. Employers set the wage level based on specific duties and experience required.
Environmental Economist is generally recognized as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant field — one of the core H1B eligibility requirements. USCIS evaluates each petition individually, so the specific job duties and employer requirements matter more than the job title alone.
All figures are pulled from the US Department of Labor's public LCA disclosure dataset. Every employer filing an H1B petition must submit an LCA certifying the prevailing wage they will pay. This makes the data legally binding and one of the most reliable sources for US professional salary benchmarks.
