> Under the new rule, the required wage level for entry-level workers would rise to the 45th percentile of their profession’s distribution, from the current requirement of the 17th percentile. The requirement for the highest-skilled workers would rise to the 95th percentile, from the 67th percentile.

This is pretty abstract and probably the most important detail. How much would a software engineer have to make to qualify? I'd figure it'd have to be at ~200k if it's 95th percentile. A number high enough and it truly would be for only highly skilled, hard to find software talent, rather than just labor cost cutting. Does anyone have concrete numbers?

You can use BoL statistics for this. In the SF-Oakland-Hayward area, 90th percentile is $207k. 95th is probably north of $250k.

A Software Engineer in the SF area with 4+ yoe would need to make $250k+ in base salary.
