U mean to see which company pays the most? It's a little tricky since u prob want to based on average or median salary in tat case but then that will hide a lot of details without also separating by job/city/level etc.
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:

This 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.
These 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.
As an employer I can confirm this is correct. The salaries it reports for the people we have sponsored are far lower than what those people actually made at the time of the application.
The bottom salaries might sound low in this forum, maybe because no one who is getting paid this kinds of salaries hangs around Hacker news.. ;) (I've known plenty of warm bodies dev's that make that kind of money)
My LCA says x salary. I get 3k more than that. Considering all yhe benefits, it comes to around y per hour. My employer charges the customer '1.76y' to '2.14y' depending on the project. So the customer is actually paying nearly twice of what I get paid.

I'm curious to understand how these numbers are derived as they seem slightly off to me.

Seems to have more data.
