By analyzing federal e-Verify participation records and visa sponsorship volumes (such as H-1B utilization), alongside proprietary research, we calculate a definitive metric indicating whether a firm's operational model prioritizes domestic citizens or siphons economic opportunity abroad.

Data from Federal government agencies, such as the USCIS and Department of Labor :
USCIS’s H-1B Employer Data Hub :

PERM, LCA (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3) data and statistics - U.S. Department of Labor :

H-1B (and H-1B1, E-3) LCA Labor Condition Application filings, which are far higher than the number of H-1Bs actually granted. The LCA is the first step for a company to take in applying for an H-1B. The rows are order by number of LCA/H-1B applications at respective companies from highest downward :

Higher education institutions or non-profit research organizations, including governmental research organizations, are not subject to the H1B annual cap of 85,000. Here is a site where the employer names and counts of exempt H-1B employees can be queried by year and state:

As for numbers of OPT and CPT visas (handled by DHS - ICE), the only data available are that of the top 200 employers. Of course, Federal agencies cannot provide the names of the individual visa holders. It will take FOIA/Freedom Of Information Act inquires to get complete lists of OPT and CPT employers.

I asked Google AI :
“Does the FHA have a list of subsidized loans made to H-1B holders?”
It said the “FHA does not collect citizenship or residency status on standard loan applications.”
Google then offered to provide me information on “Conventional Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac mortgages that still allow H-1B borrowers”.
Here’s a graphic on how OPTs have flattened wages :

More on STEM-OPT visas :
Besides OPT and STEM OPT extensions, there is also CPT, Curricular Practical Training. Giving the term “Day 1 CPT” to Google AI yields :
“Day 1 CPT allows eligible international students on F-1 visas to start off-campus work authorization on the very first day of their academic program, bypassing the standard one-year waiting period.”
