Partly remote We define partly remote companies as those with at least one job post and less than 50% of their job posts in a year described as remote (i.e., not non-remote and not mostly remote). Company sizes Fortune 500 We use Fortune 500 to denote some of the largest US-based companies based on revenue. The list includes publicly held companies, along with privately held companies for which revenues are publicly available. Examples include Walmart, Apple, JPMorgan Chase, Verizon, Bank of America, and Target. Public Companies that have been publicly listed but that are not large enough to be in the Fortune 500. Examples include Twitter, Zoom, and JetBlue Airlines. Startup These are privately held companies that have raised a series of (often venture) funding. They are typically at an early stage (and consequently of smaller size) but rapidly growing. Unicorn These are privately held companies that have reached a $1 billion valuation. Examples of unicorns include GitLab, DataRobot, Stripe, SpaceX, Instacart, and Databricks. Others This captures a range of different private companies (i.e., not publicly listed). This includes small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), family-owned businesses, companies funded by private equity, and partnerships (e.g., consulting companies and law firms). The majority of jobs and companies in this category fall under SMBs. © Tapwage Inc 2022 35
