S&P 500 Market Cap vs. Employees

Each bubble is an S&P 500 company, its area proportional to its market capitalization , grouped by sector. Inside it, one stick figure stands for employees, so a bubble crowded with small figures is worth little per worker and a big bubble with a handful of figures is worth a lot.

Every figure is the same size, so how densely a bubble is filled shows its employees per dollar of market cap.

Only companies with at least employees and a market cap of at least are shown ( of the S&P 500), plus a few big companies with fewer employees, such as Palantir and Welltower, drawn as one half-size figure. Employee counts are full-time staff from each company's latest annual report, so they lag up to a year. Click a company for its details; scroll or pinch to zoom in on the small ones.
