s/H1B/LCA

I'm in that data, yet I have an E-3, not an H-1B.

One unintended consequence of moving to the US that I wasn't expecting is that now my friends back home roughly know what my salary is. I understood when moving here that the LCA (which has salary details) would be posted in public spaces, but I didn't notice it was also a matter of public record which in this day and age, means global public record.

I work in a smaller city, so while I may have been relatively anonymous in somewhere like Silicon Valley, my location, company and role and year of employment is more that enough to uniquely identify me. Such is life.

Good news is: visas which don't require labor certification do not appear in the data. I'm on an O-1 and I'm not in it.
