Where did this data come from?

To quote from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission website , "The EEO-1 Component 1 report is a mandatory annual data collection that requires all private sector employers with 100 or more employees, and federal contractors with 50 or more employees meeting certain criteria, to submit workforce demographic data, including data by job category and sex and race or ethnicity, to the EEOC." Employees.fyi collected and organized the publicly available federal data from the EEOC as well as publicly available EEO-1 submissions from individual companies.

These are defined The terminology used for these datasets is directly pulled from the EEO-1 data and reporting requirements.

Why are some years available?

For a given year, EEOC data collection happens in the following year. Then the EEOC releases aggregate data months to years after that. For example, companies sampled 2023 data in 2023Q4, reported that data to the EEOC (and sometimes publicly) in mid-2024. The EEOC will then release aggregate data based on these submissions sometime in 2024 or 2025. As a result, company data is often available before industry reference data is available.

Why are some companies missing from this data even though they release diversity data or other workforce data?

Only companies that have voluntarily released unmodified data in the format consistent with the EEO-1 reporting are included on Employees.fyi. The data must also be directly found on the company's website or an archive of the company's website.

Why is this data different from what is on some company websites?

Some companies and their employees choose to organize and group their employee workforce according to different methodologies. To read about the company-specific data collection and grouping methodologies, visit that company's website.

Due to lack of consistency and comparability, this company-specific information is out of scope of Employees.fyi at this time. This company-specific information may be supported in the future.

Why is there a warning for some of the data?

There may be a warning displayed for various reasons. Please read the warning message for more information and try adjusting the selections if desired.

Why is reference data missing for more recent years?
