Summary

Warehousing & Postal is NAICS sector 49, covering storage facilities, courier services, and postal operations. In FY2026, the sector filed 374 H-1B petitions, continuing modest sponsorship activity. Since the beginning of LCA tracking, employers in this sector have filed 9,614 H-1B applications across 409 distinct organizations.

The sector's H-1B activity reflects steady but limited demand for specialty occupations in logistics and mail handling. With approximately 24 filings per employer on average, participation is distributed across numerous small to mid-sized operators rather than concentrated among giants. This pattern suggests roles in technical logistics, warehouse management systems, and specialized handling are occasionally filled through H-1B sponsorship, though the sector remains less H-1B-intensive than technology, finance, or professional services industries.
