Here's some perspective on just how big the PEO industry really is.

Together, PEOs support 5.4 million worksite employees nationwide. That's more than triple the reported workforce of Walmart or Amazon and roughly equal to the combined employment of seven of the largest companies. That's the scale of impact PEOs have on American businesses and their employees.
