How to read these numbers

The state comes from the first worksite on each case. Of this year's New Jersey cases, 9,963 were filed by employers that gave a state other than NJ.

Names are left as filed, and 24 of the 25 employers above use more than one spelling, which we keep apart. Eight of the 25 names carry a staffing or consulting word, and two a university word. Titles are the employer's text; Ernst & Young U.S. LLP's carries a code from its filings.

Median offered wage is taken from the yearly value of the low end of each case's wage range. The medians leave out the 19 New Jersey cases that print no wage.
