Across all employers, filings bunch up in the first half of each year around the annual H-1B lottery, so compare a quarter with the same quarter a year earlier, not with the one before it.

The government assigns each job one of four wage levels. A higher level means a higher legal minimum.

What these numbers are

They are wages Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, LLP 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 One filing can cover several positions, and some are later withdrawn.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.
2 filings are for part-time work. Hourly wages are shown as full-time equivalents (2,080 hours a year) so they can be compared.
