Just 2,745 employers filed for Washington jobs in those nine months, the first part of fiscal 2026.

How to read these numbers

Worksite means the first worksite listed on the case. That puts 10,473 cases in Washington whose employer gave a state other than WA.

Employer names are kept as each filing spells them, and 24 of the 25 above use several spellings that are not joined together. One name in the 25 carries a staffing or consulting word and one a university word. Job titles are written by the employer, which is why Starbucks Coffee Company's top title carries a code.

The offered wage is the low end of the application's wage range, made yearly. Only 8 Washington cases have no wage, and they sit outside the medians.

All counts come from the fiscal 2026 third quarter labor condition application disclosure file in the Department of Labor's OFLC performance data.
