How the days are counted
DOL holds each case twice: its live case-status service has every case it has indexed, pending ones included, and its quarterly files have decided cases only, reaching back further. A case is counted once, by its case number: on the live service's filing day when the service holds it, otherwise on the file's received day.
“Files give another day” counts cases on a day whose published file dates them differently, most by a day. “Only in DOL's published files” counts decided cases the live service doesn't hold. Today's count grows through the day as new filings are found.
The live record starts on June 1, 2023 for PERM cases, December 16, 2019 for wage requests, January 4, 2021 for H-1B LCAs, and October 3, 2019 for H-2A, H-2B and CW-1 filings; days before then come from the files alone.

What each source includes
Per-case statuses: Every PERM case DOL indexes, pending included. No wage, law firm or worksite: DOL reveals those only when a case is published.
Wage request statuses: Live status of prevailing wage requests, pending included. The wage itself isn't here. It arrives with the quarterly file.
LCA statuses: Live status of H-1B labor condition applications, pending included.
H-2A, H-2B and CW-1 statuses: Live status of H-2A, H-2B and CW-1 applications, H-2A job orders, and H-2B and CW-1 prevailing wage requests, pending included. No wage or worksite: those come from the quarterly files and SeasonalJobs.
Case data: Decided PERM cases only. A case still waiting isn't in here, so counts and durations describe finished cases.
Wage determinations: Decided prevailing wage requests only, with the wage DOL determined. Pending requests are absent.
LCA disclosures: Certified and denied H-1B labor condition applications only, with the wage offered.
