Summary

Administrative & Support Services (NAICS 56) encompasses staffing firms, facilities management, business services, and office support operations. In FY2026, the sector filed 2,669 H-1B petitions, continuing a long-running pattern of H-1B activity.

Since tracking began, Administrative & Support Services has accumulated 110,482 H-1B filings across 3,695 distinct employers. This breadth—nearly 3,700 sponsors—reflects the sector's reliance on specialized talent for roles in project management, accounting, IT support, administrative coordination, and temporary staffing placements. The high number of participants relative to annual filings suggests these employers use H-1B sponsorship opportunistically rather than as a dominant hiring channel.

Labor demand in the sector remains steady but modest per employer. The average of roughly 30 filings per sponsor over time indicates selective use of H-1B visas for roles where domestic talent supply is constrained, most commonly in specialized administrative, technical, and management functions.
