There was another analysis a while back which showed pretty convincingly that the H1B outliers were due to someone fat fingering the salary and inserting another 0.
- smokinn 15y agoThe vast majority of outliers do indeed seem to be data entry errors. There are a lot of cases where the prevailing wage is something like 85k but the person makes 890k. They probably actually make 89k. Also, while I know New York is expensive I highly doubt any Assistant Research Professors are making 661 million dollars a year when the prevailing is 54k. More likely it's 66.1k.
- tricolon 15y agoRegarding your second point: I thought those were aggregates.
- joshz 15y agoThat's true. There are also several instances where wage rate unit (monthly, weekly, hourly, bi-weekly or yearly) is set lower than it should, like $6k/hour when they mean $6k/month.

- danssig 15y agoExecutives make multiples of those numbers. Why should it be unheard of that any software developer ever make that?
