Summary of Our Early Findings Relevant to The Goals

• We gathered our early findings in the attached spreadsheet as a simple way to view data.
• A list of all US-based companies that have 500+ employees is publicly unavailable.
• Our preliminary research indicated that the number of companies with 500+ employees is huge (41,891). Alternatively, we are suggesting further research to find a total of 1,500 companies: 500 companies with 500-999 employees, 500 companies with 1000-4999 employees, and 500 companies with 5000+ employees.
• Our recommendations are based on our findings in early research.
