Last I checked, the metrics around prevailing wages to hire an H1B are not adjusted based on the local market. So you can get away with paying an H1B the same in the Bay Area as you would in suburban Iowa.

Would you share a link? My impression was that market wages actually need to reflect the local wages, not national, but I'm not sure of this.
