Please note that companies may post jobs under many different brand labels, and this chart does not roll up all posting activity for separately-labeled operating entities or subsidiary companies. For example, there is no prior year comparison for Wal-Mart, which posted jobs previously under a different employer label. WANTED produces the WANTED Fortune 1000 Report which does roll up hiring demand data for all company subsidiaries for each member of that list.
