Top 100 Employers of H-1Bs - by Total

This table was produced by INS in response to a special request from Congress, and exists only on paper. I scanned the data into a spreadsheet and optical character reader. Unfortunately the INS doesn't have a complete list of companies and no data for other time spans. They ran a frequency distribution and then printed just names of firms with the largest numbers of H-1Bs. It's not likely that they'll be repeating the process any time soon. The same office is responsible for trying to generate any immigration data Congressmen, Senators, and the White House request as well as routine statistical publications and data for other agencies. The raw data comes from a branch of the INS that routinely "forgets to code" important variables, etc. They don't even have information on the occupations of admitted H-1Bs, nationally! It's a sorry situation, but not one likely to be solved any time soon. As with all government work the data processing contract went to the "low bidder.
