Sources: Foreign Labor Certification Data Center (2001-2007); U.S. Department of Labor:
Spreadsheet for 2008, 2009, 2009 (continued), 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013
As can be seen, the Labor Condition Applications contained a number of data errors. The above table shows many of those which occurred in the applications requesting the most total workers. Following are some of the basic types:
TOTAL_WORKERS: From 2010 to 2013, there were 16 applications which requested more than 2,000 total workers. In fact, the four lowest were equal to one less than the year of the application suggesting that they were errors possibly aided by the layout of the application. The next lowest request was 5,464 (which was VOIDED) and the other 11 were all over 43,000 each. All 16 requests were obvious errors and 14 were denied, one was withdrawn, and one was voided. Because these total worker numbers would distort the graph and table showing worker positions by status, they were counted as zero in those items. However, the applications themselves were still counted in the graph and table showing the number of applications.
It should be noted that many application did request just under 1,000 worker positions. I would assume that requests of 999 and slightly less often served as placeholders when large numbers of positions were desired but the exact number was unknown. The relatively large number of such requests in 2001 caused the total number of work positions to be over 1.6 million.
Errors in Employer Name and Address in Denied Applications: As can be seen in denied applications above, errors in the Employer Address can be seen from 2005 through 2009 and errors in the Employer Name can be seen in 2007 and 2008. These errors may have contributed to their denial.
Errors in Employer Name and Address in Certified Applications: As can be seen in certified applications above, errors in the Employer Name and Address can be seen from 2006 through 2008. These are perhaps the most disturbing errors as they may represent invalid applications which were certified. The only other possibility that I can think of is that some of them may be test data which was not properly removed. This would also be troubling.
Miscellaneous Errors: The data in blue font above represent other errors ranging from possibly missing street numbers to data that appears to be in the wrong columns (at the start of 2003 and 2004). Another minor error was that file H1B_FY05_Efile.txt in the zip file at http://www.flcdatacenter.com/download/H1B_fax_FY2005_text.zip was missing a header.
Other Errors: The data in red font in the following tables represent errors found in certified applications. Notes on the specific errors are following each table.

Note: The above table lists certified applications in 2013 for which LCA_CASE_WORKLOC1_CITY was set to an apparent address
(in red) instead of the work location city as requested. In addition, the work location state was different in these
cases than the employer city. Hence, there is no apparent way to determine the work location city, a critical item
in validating an application. For that reason, it would appear that these applications may not have been processed
properly.

Note: The above table lists certified applications in 2013 for which the ratio of the starting wage rate to the reported
prevailing wage was greater than 7.9. It would appear that the starting wage rate and/or the prevailing wage are
in error in these applications. The job title is also listed to help determine which of the two is most likely in
error. It would appear that it is the starting wage rate that is in error in the most, if not all, of the applications.
Also listed are those certified applications with the lowest ratios. As can be seen, only 4 were less than one
(indicating a starting wage rate less than the prevailing wage) and all were fairly close to one. This would
suggest the possibility that the applications were checked for too low of a starting wage rate but not for one
that was so high as to be an obvious error. Hence, it would appear that these applications may not have been
processed properly.
