This article doesn’t provide any information at all, but existing H-1B visa holders have to have their visas renewed every few years.

Most of these visas are likely these companies simply renewing their existing employees’s visas.

The thing about all of these responses, factual as they may be, is that they don't address the issue we're discussing. Regardless of whether the number is fixed or how much the employees are paid, thousand of people lost their jobs. I'm sure a few are active on the board here. It looks bad when you request visas and do mass firings.
