#3There's an H1B at Google who makes $54k. Hard to believe Google's salaries even drop that low, contractor?

#5This is rubbish, at least for my company, where we hire 2 Software Engineer IIs with H1B, so it's easy to reason about the numbers.
I was one of those 2 engineers until got promoted to a Senior a few months ago, and the number it reports for min and max are grossly inaccurate. My salary hasn't ever been nearly that low, I don't think any engineer of any rank in our company makes that little.

Yeah, these types of organizations are the ones abusing the visa system. Look at this salary distribution, and realize that many (most?) of these workers are staffed at tech giants like Apple, but employed by TCS:

#7Does anyone know if H1B's are exempt from California's Labor Codes? Looks like there's quite a few that fall short of 2017's required $88k[1].

Same here. There are some stats there that don't seem right based on how much I make. Also, this doesn't include bonuses, etc. I think.

#9These are not salaries, they are "Labor Condition Applications", which companies have to submit before they can submit any H1B application. The LCA actually has a range of pay (WAGE_RATE_OF_PAY_FROM and WAGE_RATE_OF_PAY_TO), so the way it is displayed here is pretty misleading. And even then, they reflect the lowest possible salary the company might pay an H1B worker.
As someone who went through the process, I can say the salary attached to my LCA was lower than the salary I received, though I don't know why. Perhaps since LCAs can apply to more than one employee it's standard practise to set the bar low, allowing you to use the same LCA with a less qualified worker.
Either way, this is not a conclusive, reliable data set.

Thanks for clarifying. Do you have some more info about this. Some page where these ranges are listed?
I'm curious to understand how these numbers are derived as they seem slightly off to me.
