American Opportunity Index 2024

American Opportunity Index

October 30, 2024

The 2024 American Opportunity Index measures how well America’s largest companies drive economic mobility and positive career outcomes for their employees—actions that also can help fuel business performance. It is based on independent data and is the only measure of employer quality to evaluate what really happens to workers at America’s largest employers over time.

Explore profiles of every company and the data behind their performance. Discover this year’s Top 100 performers, browse by sector or review a full alphabetical list that can be sorted by the five categories used to assemble the Index.

You can learn more about the project and read more about the index through this link.
