As I commented above these data reflect Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) granted. denied, etc. This is only one part of the application for a visa, and every year the DOL certifies far more LCAs than there are available visas.

To find out what visas were actually issued that information would come from US Citizenship and Immigration Service, and as far as I can find they do not release that information.

The State Department has it. Second row on the second page of this PDF:

You're right, the State Department has raw numbers of visas approved, but still no way to connect them to employers, industries, occupations or wages as the original post attempted to present.
