These are not salaries, they are "Labor Condition Applications", which companies have to submit before they can submit any H1B application. The LCA actually has a range of pay (WAGE_RATE_OF_PAY_FROM and WAGE_RATE_OF_PAY_TO), so the way it is displayed here is pretty misleading. And even then, they reflect the lowest possible salary the company might pay an H1B worker.
As someone who went through the process, I can say the salary attached to my LCA was lower than the salary I received, though I don't know why. Perhaps since LCAs can apply to more than one employee it's standard practise to set the bar low, allowing you to use the same LCA with a less qualified worker.
Either way, this is not a conclusive, reliable data set.
- sumitgt 10y agoThanks for clarifying. Do you have some more info about this. Some page where these ranges are listed? I'm curious to understand how these numbers are derived as they seem slightly off to me.

- cardine 10y agoAs an employer I can confirm this is correct. The salaries it reports for the people we have sponsored are far lower than what those people actually made at the time of the application.
- c2latt 10y agoI've updated the data so it should be closer to reality now.
