Ok, I've just re-read the article, I missed that bit - but for general purposes 65k is the number touted around - it's not of huge importance though... but it still doesn't explain the relation between the colums (maybe I'm being slow today...)

Infosys Applications Submitted: 4837 Employees Hired: 24060

Why is there such a big difference here? What does "employees hired" mean - their total workforce in the US, those on an H1B application EVER or just for 2012?

EDIT: Thanks, along with another explanation below I think I get it now...!
