Try the IRS Wage and Income transcript online.

If you don't see anything there, employers file their copies of W-2s with Social Security. You can check your online SSA account to see if the earnings show up.

If you don't see anything there then they may not have filed any W-2s, or they may have mailed in paper copies waiting to be scanned.
