Patriot Pledge: Corporate Employment Ratings for American Workers

We aggregate verified U.S. government e-Verify and H-1B data with on-the-ground investigative research so you can see which businesses prioritize the American workforce.

What is Patriot Pledge?

Patriot Pledge serves as an objective rating agency for corporate employment practices. 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.
