How we count
Revelio Labs counts the people who work at each employer in a metro area, based on public professional profiles. Each count is the employer's headcount in the metro at the end of the month, and it includes the employer's subsidiaries. We count the whole metro area, not just the city limits. Our counts are statistical estimates, so they can come in below a company's reported headcount, especially where many workers are part-time or seasonal.
Coverage of hourly and frontline jobs
Some workers are more likely to have an online profile than others. White-collar workers show up more than blue-collar workers, and people in big cities show up more than people in smaller ones. To correct for this, Revelio weights its data by occupation, comparing it with official workforce statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For example, if only a quarter of workers in a role have a profile, each profile we see counts as about four people. Counts for employers with many hourly workers, such as retail, hospitality, and home care, depend most on this adjustment and carry the widest margin.
