Employers are classified under industries based on their reported operations and may be involved in multiple industries.
The H-1B visa program allows U.S. employers to temporarily hire foreign workers in specialty occupations requiring specialized knowledge and at least a bachelor’s degree or equivalent. It is designed to address skill gaps in the U.S. workforce while ensuring wage standards to protect both U.S. and H-1B workers. Employers must certify that they will pay H-1B workers wages equal to or greater than those of similarly qualified U.S. employees or the prevailing local wage.
The average approval rate for H-1B petitions across the United States in 2024 stood at 98%, higher than 2023's 97.3%. Statewide, Colorado employers across all industries submitted 2,656 petitions during the same period, achieving an approval rate of 97.9%.
The Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services industry led the H-1B filings in Colorado during 2024, with 1,052 petitions (39.6% of all submissions), and an approval rate of 98%. Meanwhile, the Educational Services industry was the second largest contributor, filing 556 petitions (20.9% of the total), with an approval rate of 98%.
The Colorado employers which made the most petitions in the Information sector during 2024 included Dish Wireless, LLC with 129 petitions, Dish Network, LLC with 98 petitions, and Dish Wireless, L L C with nine petitions.
Compared to 2023, the Information sector in Colorado saw a 15% decrease in the number of H-1B petitions during 2024.
The United States admits around 1 million legal immigrants annually, most of whom receive permanent residence (green cards) through family sponsorship or employment-based visas. In 2023, about 1.2 million immigrants were granted green cards, a return to pre-pandemic levels. Temporary visa programs, such as the H-1B for highly skilled workers and H-2A for seasonal agricultural workers, also play a critical role in filling workforce needs.
Public opinion on immigration varies, with 46% of Americans favoring maintaining current legal immigration levels, according to a 2024 Pew Research Center survey. Additionally, 42% believe that highly skilled workers, such as scientists, doctors, and programmers, should be prioritized for legal immigration, compared to 25% who prioritize workers filling labor shortages and 19% who emphasize family sponsorship. Despite this, family sponsorship remains the most common path to permanent residency, accounting for 63% of green cards issued in 2023.
