I created a site similar to this few weeks ago https://h1binfo.org/
It has 5M+ records containing H1B salary data from 2014 - 2023 and uses Meilisearch.

My employers data seems to be accurate. Great work, fast search too.
For the uninformed - what is the point of these sites? Do they serve as proxy for a more general wage database? I’m guessing there’s some disclosure law for h1b

That’s the idea. At least in theory, H1B salaries are meant to be in line with what native workers are paid.

Looks like the application was "Withdrawn". Most probably a typo when filing?
Most of these high salaries $1M+ are either "Withdrawn" or "Denied". But there are other applications "Certified" at around $1M/Year. https://h1binfo.org/visa/469433

Hey your website looks great, I started looking around and unfortunately hit a HTTP 500 within 2 clicks :( For e.g. https://h1binfo.org/jobs/Assistant%20Professor/2023 shows a SQL query error.
Btw, very cool to see a 2023 website powered by PHP Symfony :) it's been a LONG time since I worked with PHP frameworks but good to see them still in use in newer sites.
