of Labor tracking system.

The data are available for download by fiscal year (October to September) in Microsoft
Access format (mdb) or comma-delimited text (txt). To speed up the download
process the data are in ZIP files. A ZIP file utility is necessary to extract the
files.
How to view Zip files. Notice:
Employer-specific case information that appears on
FLCDataCenter.com was provided to ETA by employers who submitted foreign
labor certification applications. These are not employer responses to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Employment Statistics
survey. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) Occupational Employment
Statistics program provides estimates used to assist in setting the wage
levels in the FLC wage library. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
does not provide ETA with the wage rates reported to BLS by individual
businesses. The identity of respondents and the information that they
report to BLS is kept in strict confidence in accordance with Bureau of
Labor Statistics Data Integrity Guidelines and with the Confidentiality
Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) of 2002.
