Ranking and totals are computed over the 100 largest sponsors of this occupation, which is what the precomputed ranking holds. Filing counts are applications, and position counts are worker positions on those applications — neither is a headcount, because a continued-employment application renews someone who is already here. Fewer than 25 disclosed wages stand behind this occupation, so no wage range is published for it.
