Here is summary of the dataset, I've prepped the data - Gippty did the summary:

With Oracle continuing to cut jobs in the U.S., I pulled the FY2026 Oracle America, Inc. H-1B Labor Condition Application data from H1BHQ to see what the public records actually show.

The dataset contains 465 Oracle America records:

• 455 Certified
• 4 Certified - Withdrawn
• 5 Withdrawn
• 1 Denied

So 455 of the 465 records, or 98%, currently have a simple "Certified" status.

Important: an LCA is not the same thing as an H-1B worker being hired or brought into the country. It is an employer filing with the Department of Labor that normally occurs before the H-1B petition process with USCIS. These numbers should therefore be described as filings or LCA records, not 465 imported workers.

## What jobs is Oracle filing for?

The concentration in software and technical jobs is striking.

Software Developer alone represents 184 of the 455 certified records, or 40%.

If I broaden the search to titles containing either "Developer" or "Software Development," there are 273 certified records - exactly 60% of the total.

This is not primarily a dataset of executives or extremely unusual occupations. A large majority is concentrated in software development and related technical roles.

## What do the salaries look like?

Among the 455 certified records:

• Median salary low: $142,314
• Median salary high: about $183,930

There are 442 records containing both a low and high salary. Using the midpoint of those ranges strictly as an analytical measure:

• Median midpoint: $165,720
• 72% have a midpoint of $150,000 or more
• 42% have a midpoint of $175,000 or more
• 20% have a midpoint of $200,000 or more
• 5% have a midpoint of $250,000 or more

For Software Developer specifically, the median midpoint is approximately $158,000.

The midpoint is a calculated analytical measure and should not be confused with the actual salary eventually paid to an individual employee.

## Where are the filings?

Texas and California dominate Oracle's certified records.

Texas and California together account for 202 of the 455 certified records, or 44%.

The leading individual locations are:

• Austin: 32
• Redwood Shores: 30
• Santa Clara: 20
• Seattle: 19
• Nashville: 17
• Pleasanton: 16
• Burlington: 14
• McKinney: 14

## Now compare that with the layoffs

Oracle filed WARN notices for layoffs effective June 1, 2026 affecting 1,668 workers across Santa Clara, Redwood City, Santa Monica, Pleasanton, and Seattle/Remote.

The H-1B dataset contains certified records in all five corresponding areas:

That means 88 of Oracle's 455 certified LCA records, or 19%, are associated with five areas that also appear in Oracle's major 2026 WARN layoffs.

Of those 88 records, 28 are specifically titled Software Developer.

Redwood City/Redwood Shores is particularly interesting.

Oracle's WARN notice identified 310 layoffs in Redwood City effective June 1. Local reporting on the WARN filing found that more than half of the affected Redwood City positions were software developers or software development management.

Meanwhile, this H-1B dataset contains 30 certified records for Redwood Shores. Fifteen of the 30 have "Developer" or "Software Development" in the job title.

Again, that does not establish that those H-1B positions replaced the laid-off employees. But the occupational and geographic overlap is worth examining.

## Another pattern worth noting

There are 31 certified Software Developer records in the Dallas-area suburbs carrying the exact same salary range of $134,971 to $181,112.

Those records are spread across places including McKinney, Frisco, Farmers Branch, Celina, Dallas, Prosper, Allen, Aubrey, Carrollton, Lewisville, The Colony and nearby communities.

So these records are not simply a few isolated Silicon Valley cases. Oracle's LCA activity is geographically dispersed, with particularly heavy concentration in Texas.

## What the data shows - and what it doesn't

The data does show:

• 465 Oracle America FY2026 LCA records in the dataset
• 455 with Certified status
• 98% of all records have a simple Certified status
• Heavy concentration in software development
• 184 Software Developer records alone
• 40% of certified records are specifically Software Developer
• 60% involve "Developer" or "Software Development" titles
• 72% of records with complete salary ranges have calculated midpoints of at least $150,000
• 20% have calculated midpoints of at least $200,000
• Texas and California account for 44% of certified records
• 19% of certified records are associated with five areas that also appear in Oracle's major 2026 WARN layoffs
• Software-development overlap exists in Redwood City/Redwood Shores

The data does NOT prove:

• That 465 foreign workers were brought into the United States
• That each LCA represents one worker
• That every certified LCA resulted in an approved H-1B petition
• That every H-1B worker came from offshore
• That an H-1B employee directly replaced a particular laid-off U.S. employee
• That the salary midpoint represents what an employee was actually paid

Those distinctions matter.

But there is still a legitimate question here.

When a company is simultaneously eliminating U.S. jobs while maintaining substantial H-1B filing activity in many of the same technical occupations and geographic markets, employees have every reason to ask how the two fit together.

The public data cannot answer that final question by itself.

It can tell us where to start looking.

## Sources and methodology

• Oracle America, Inc. FY2026 LCA data obtained through H1BHQ
• U.S. Department of Labor H-1B/LCA disclosure data and guidance
• Public WARN records
• California and Washington WARN data
• Public reporting on Oracle's 2026 layoffs

There were articles a week or two ago
$1 billion expense cut and layoffs were probable or being discussed.can’t remember exactly. Obvious thaf LE & Safra were discussing - of course if it was not going to happen they would not have made such public statement to the media.

This was not a surprise. Tech industry is shifting -the work needs to be done - it’s going to get done outside of Oracle.

The pandemic helped alot people figure how to work differently.

Startups were created and competition grew stronger .. they have figured out how to help customers get out from under subscription easier. I’m not a tech person. I’m an investor and I read alot of articles. However it’s done it’s still expensive but competitors are not gouging customers so long term it pays off.

Oracle is not the giant corporation that has been caught with their pants down. It’s going on in other industries as well.
Many smaller companies will get the work done cheaper. They don’t have the overhead that the multi management Levels have created.
Text book: middle Mgmt gets hit.

• Oracle especially because management will never understand that promoting people based on favoritism instead of capability was a major weakness on their part. They are top heavy with expense . They forget employees are smarter they are. Younger smarter etc. many have left and many are now getting laid off and many survived.

Management did not evolve - it was stifled. Seems like Mgmt mentality is if a smart person is terminated then they no longer exist. The quick fix was to get them out and promote the favorites and everything will be ok however they shot themselves in the foot. Because many went other places and took their Oracle training and experience to the competition and has now grown past Oracle.

Biggest mistake and it’s been since the beginning of time, Treat people well and they will be loyal. Treat people like cr-p and the company will often die and slow death.

This layoff is a huge opportunity for competition and it will prove to hurt Oracle even more.

Mgmt thinks they can control people mind games do not work - people have free will and often trying to control pushes people in a different directions.

This will be written about - Business Mgmt case study. My guess is the VPs are tech people and did not come out of business school. Upper Mgmt gave VPs very little accountability..

Same principle when a manger takes work from a subordinate and terminates the employee and uses the work for self gain maybe promoted to VP, thinking they got rid of that person . That person did not cease to exist nor did they forget the abuse that happened. Those people could come forward eventually.
While Mgmt is busy degrading employees calling them id--ts and stupid thinking many think that gives them power and they not smart enough to realize they are working to lose their own positions.
They are losing a lot of people. Had they worked with them been good managers to help people grow then the company would grow. It’s not rocket science. Positive leadership has proven to be much more profitable & negative leadership costs money.

I’ve reading a lot of the post -it’s obvious thaf Mgmt oft HR willl try redirect things and their statements are so pointed and it’s like they think that the readers will think differently since theg made such a profound statement. This is a public site - people are smarter than they them. It’s another form of abuse,, mind control. If they say it then it’s true. There will be at least one poster that will criticize my spelling grammar punctuation of word usage thinking that will deflect from this post .

Mgtmt will use whatever they can but the abuse ultimately is the problem that has caused smart people to go other places and the competion wins. Pushing and degrading people they must think that is their right and it is but ithe employees have brains that will are being used and ending up fewer people - didn’t they think -they might be hurting themselves ..fewer to manage needs fewer managers …Duh….
They did this to themselves.
