The amount of information they provide is incredible. There are no explicit names, but for small startup or exec position it is easy to guess who is who.
As far as I know this is the biggest LCA database so far.
Would it be possible to search for role + location instead of company first? Essentially the refine functionality you provide on company's yearly page [0] to be at the root. You can perhaps make state or city mandatory so that it doesn't hit your backend hard.
You can also search Green Card PERMs.
What kind of skills of knowledge or experience do you have to have so that you take more than quarter million of dollars??? Incredible!!
If you could (make a case that you) consistently decrease churn then you'd pay for yourself at that rate.

As it is the plots aren't particularly useful for comparing the distribution of salaries between companies etc.
I did notice that searching for Google gives you 5 different entities that are all Google.
Down the road, I'm planning on providing a couple of cool charts/map about trends and evolutions.
- ratio of LCAs to total permanent full time employees. This will show which companies are really leaning on the H1-B visa (I'd estimate my "household name" software company is at about 50%)
- Source of prevailing wage. Interestingly employers don't have to use the BOL published data and can self report. I'd be interested to see how many self report.
- The average delta between prevailing wage and salary per employer/job title.
- A way to search by geographic region.
I also noticed that the sort buttons (for salary) behave backwards of what I'd intuitively expect?
Would it be possible to auto-merge likely duplicate company names?
Great job, keep it up!! :)
