PlainEmployers is a free public-data research platform that helps people explore U.S. employers through government records. It brings together Department of Labor H-1B wage filings, OSHA workplace injury logs, and WARN Act layoff notices to create transparent employer profiles across a database of 304,376 organizations. Visitors can browse and compare employers, explore rankings by metro area and industry, review guides, and save companies to a watchlist, with no account required.

The platform presents H-1B filing volumes and disclosed wage medians, OSHA safety grades based on injury rates relative to industry averages, and layoff histories drawn from WARN notices. Its tools and rankings help users examine differences in hiring scale, reported pay, workplace safety, and job stability. PlainEmployers also explains its methodology, including how wage medians are calculated and why filing volume should not be treated as a measure of pay. By organizing federal and state records in one place, the brand makes employer information easier to research and compare.
