I think we're seeing the wrong columns; prevailing wage is an immigration law term that speaks to the average wage paid for similar work in similar occupations in the same area.

That's why we see so many repeated values.

These aren't the actual salaries.

Good catch. There are two sets of numbers. Prevailing wage is data from BLS that sets a floor for H1B wages. Companies often pay much more.
