Improved accuracy of estimated employee counts for publicly-traded, US companies
February 17th, 2022 by Kris Negulescu
We recently improved the accuracy of the estimate populating the 'nbEmployees' attribute for publicly-traded US organizations in the Knowledge Graph by expanding analysis of data from sec.gov reports. 70%+ of the SEC-10k documents now include nbEmployees for each reporting period.
We also added 'secForms' as an attribute of Organizations. Below is a JSON excerpt from IBM featuring a filing from 2019:
