Great that shows your place's data sucks. The 104 listings for 30 H1Bs each is 3120 people, all programmer/analysts, all in America. But according to this the have around 1/10 that many engineers (which might or might not be limited to programmer/analysts) WORLDWIDE. This doesn't add up to good data on that site.

You're right that something doesn't add up, but I doubt it has anything to do with the database....

From LCA Database FAQs

Are Database Errors Corrected?

The data in the database is an exact replication of the DOL data that was obtained using the Freedom of Information Act. This data is not modified or corrected for errors because a lot can be learned from the errors the data contains. It is not the mission of ZaZona.com to correct errors in our government databases.

So I was wrong, the data is from the Department of Labor instead of INS. HOWEVER, the data IS an exact duplicate of that provided by the DOL. SO, if there's a problem with the data, it is the DOL that either collected the data incorrectly or the data is in fact valid.
