They do have a prevailing wage clause but if you look up labor filings by most tech companies the wages are on average MUCH lower than what Americans would expect. I just saw a software developer petition for a company in San Francisco for 79K.

Though it does not take RSUs into account, and in the SF/SV a huge chunk of the compensation tend to come in the form of RSUs.

This was for a small startup which is not public. Even with options, 79K is not prevailing wage in SF for a developer.
