What these numbers are

They are wages EchoStar Operating, LLC attested to on Labor Condition Applications (Form ETA-9035), not paychecks. Bonuses and stock are not included.
A filing is not a visa or a hire. One filing can cover several positions, and some are later withdrawn. Wage figures use certified filings only.
The prevailing wage is the minimum the employer must pay for that job in that area, set from government wage surveys.
On 76.0% of its filings, EchoStar Operating, LLC declared itself an H-1B-dependent employer: one where H-1B workers make up a large share of staff, which adds hiring obligations.
