How to read these numbers

A case lands in New York when its first worksite is there. Where the employer itself is based does not decide it, and 16,205 of the year's New York cases list an employer state other than NY.

Every name reads as the employer filed it. Of the 25 employers in the table, 23 use more than one spelling across filings, and we do not merge them. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs Services LLC are two filers and two rows. Three of the 25 carry a university word in their name, and none a staffing or consulting word.

Offered wage comes from the application: the low end of the range, set as a yearly amount. The 39 New York cases without a wage are not in the medians. Titles are the employer's own words; Ernst & Young's include a code.

The data is the Department of Labor's labor condition application disclosure file for fiscal 2026, quarter three, from its OFLC performance data page.
