MERRILL LYNCH H-1B sponsorship data
Only 5% of this employer's H-1B petitions were for new hires — the rest renew or transfer people already on staff, so first-time sponsorship here is uncommon.

What the numbers show
Fiscal years are shown side by side above rather than as a year-over-year change. Employers sometimes appear in this federal data under a slightly different legal name from one year to the next, so comparing a single name across years can reflect a renaming rather than a real change in hiring.
Across all years, 99% of decided petitions were approved.
Most petitions list CHARLOTTE, NC.
Filed under Finance and Insurance in the federal data.
By petition volume this is the 21st largest of 24 H-1B filers we track in North Carolina, and the 128th of 130 in Finance and Insurance.
