Filings against actual new hires.

Read those two columns together, because they disagree. TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES LIMITED filed 1,844 applications for 0 new-employment positions, while NVIDIA Corporation filed 1,255 for 5,049 new-employment positions. A filing is paperwork — renewing the same person counts again every year — so the second column is the one to read when the question is who is actually hiring.

About this data

Before an employer can petition for an H-1B or E-3 worker it files a Labor Condition Application with the US Department of Labor, stating the job title, the worksite, the offered wage and the prevailing wage for that occupation in that area. DOL publishes every one of them. These pages are that file, aggregated per employer.

Three things it is not. It is not a headcount — a filing covers a number of positions, and renewing the same worker counts again the next year. It is not proof anyone was hired — a certified application is permission to sponsor, not a visa. And it is not a merged corporate view: each employer name, exactly as filed, is its own entity here, so two similarly named companies stay two companies. Check the city and the industry line before you conclude that two rows are the same business.

On student visas, ICE separately publishes the top 200 employers of OPT and STEM OPT students. It is kept on its own page because ICE names employers by brand and the filings above name them by legal entity — the two cannot be joined without guessing.
