How the S&P 500 is hiring

Edition of 21 October 2026 · refreshed every Monday · cite this edition

The S&P 500 is the stock index of 500 large US-listed companies, chosen by market value. This tracker reads every open job on their own careers sites, counted once per requisition, and shows what they hire for, where, at what level, how much of it involves AI and what they advertise to pay. We read the careers sites of 339 of the 500 companies; the others are listed below as not covered, never counted as zero. The United States holds 64% of the openings whose country is known.

Week by week

The trend starts 21 October 2026, the first weekly edition. Open postings cannot be reconstructed for an earlier date, and many of these careers sites were added to our sync in the weeks before, so there is no honest earlier history to show. A new point is added every Monday, and from the second edition each change compares only the companies covered in both weeks.

How these numbers are built

What is counted

Postings on each company’s own careers site, read daily from its applicant-tracking system. Job boards, recruiters and search results are not used.
A posting is open if the careers site still listed it in the last five days.
Each requisition counts once: a posting listed again for a second location keeps the same requisition number and is not counted twice.
“Posted in the last 7 days” uses the date the careers site gives, for postings we first read within 31 days of it, and never a company’s first day of coverage.

The two lists

Fortune 500: the 2026 list, the 500 largest US companies by revenue, including 30 that are not listed on a stock market.
S&P 500: the index members as of October 2026. Companies with two share classes count once.
A company’s subsidiaries count when they hire on its careers site or under its name.

Read with care

A posting is an opening a company advertises, not a hire. Some postings are evergreen or cover several hires.
Coverage is not complete: totals describe the companies we read, not the whole list.
Some careers sites hand a reader at most 1,000 to 3,000 postings, newest first; for the largest employers the open count is a floor.
“Posted in the last 7 days” counts only companies whose careers site we have read for the whole week.
AI shares count only postings whose full description we have read; job families and levels are read from titles.
Pay is the advertised range, mostly from US postings, not what people are paid.
