You have to count, or none of it makes sense. Remember that Congress created the H-1 labor category in the 1950s to allow temporary labor from foreign experts “of distinguished merit and ability,” after which Congress created the H-1B visa in 1990 to allow visiting workers to do scientific and technical work in the U.S. that requires “theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge.”

The premise of the H-1B visa is that it allows the rocket scientist who lives overseas to come contribute to American industry for a while, doing highly specialized work that no American is able to do. It was created as a gap-filler, a way of importing brilliant minds for work that requires esoteric knowledge. With that in mind, look at this H-1B application from Stanford University:

Since Stanford is specifically looking for a Financial Analyst 3, you can look at the skill level and job duties associated with that category and level by looking for other help-wanted ads for Financial Analyst 3 positions at the same university. Here’s one. It requires a bachelor’s degree and an ability to perform “accounting-focused analysis,” with “strong Excel skills.”
