Interactive bubbles show S&P 500 market cap per employee

Why it matters for readers: It’s an easy, interactive way to explore how employee counts relate to company valuations across sectors.

Each bubble is an S&P 500 company and its area is proportional to its market capitalization.1
Inside a bubble, one stick figure stands for employees so density shows employees per dollar of market cap.1
Companies are grouped by sector, and employee counts are full‑time staff from each company's latest annual report, which can lag up to a year.1
Some large companies with relatively few employees, like Palantir and Welltower, are drawn as one half‑size figure.1
The visualization is interactive: click a company for details and scroll or pinch to zoom.1
