Not fully accurate - spouses of H1B, H4 can work now: http://www.immihelp.com/h4-visa-ead/ .
H4 dependents can only work after the primaries's green card process reached certain stage which may take few years. But with L1, spouse can start work from day 1

Incorrect, the dependent has a 3 month waiting period.
From [1]: "The new U.S. office must have a corporate relationship with your foreign entity abroad where you have been employed as a manager, executive, or worker with specialized knowledge. This means that the new U.S. office must be a parent, affiliate, subsidiary or branch of the foreign entity, and that both the U.S. office and the foreign entity must continue to share common ownership and control."

One more difference is that L1 visa holders cannot change companies.
Any way, I love publicly posted salary information for every H1B applicant by company and date! http://www.h1bdata.info Way better than Glassdoor or Payscale or any of those "give us your Facebook account and a ton of information before we show you outdated base-salary-only information but since you clicked we're sure the ad worked" websites
Don't know about the history of that transparency and don't care, can probably convince Congress to extend it to other work visa types "as a compromise to study the effect on citizens" lol!
The source document says ~78k L1 were issued in 2015, and ~86k L2, which included spouses and chidren.
How do you know how many L1 spouses are working?
Your graph makes look like "L1 + spouse worker" is a little bit more than 100k. The source document says ~78k L1 were issued in 2015, and ~86k L2, which included spouses and chidren. How do you know how many L1 spouses are working?

you mean they become eligible only after 3 months?
Once EAD is issued, they can work.
