Both figures come from DOL LCA disclosure records for FY2025, filtered to certified petitions with annual wages between $30,000 and $1,000,000. Employer legal-entity name variants are grouped before counting (UnitedHealth: 26 name variants; Cigna: 14). An LCA is a required step before an H-1B petition, not the petition itself, so these are filings rather than USCIS approvals.
