Why does 50 employees matter?

Several US rules start at 50 employees. FMLA covers employers with 50+ employees, and under the ACA, employers with 50+ full-time employees (including equivalents) are "applicable large employers" with coverage and reporting duties. Growing firms near 50 often need HR, payroll, benefits or a PEO.

Are these exact headcounts?

No. They are estimates (modelled headcount), not payroll or FTE counts. Use them to prioritise outreach, then confirm with the company.

Notes and limits

Employee counts are estimates: modelled headcount from licensed B2B firmographic and technographic data, not payroll or IRS full-time-equivalent counts. Whether FMLA or the ACA employer rules apply depends on the employer's own counts.
Companies with an estimated 35–65 employees whose headcount grew 15%+ in a year, listed by growth band, then size.
Growth is shown as a band: +15–20%, +20–50%, +50–100%, +100–200% or 200%+ (estimated). Within a band, companies are listed largest first; the order inside a band is not a growth ranking.
"200%+ (estimated)" means the growth figure is above 200% and has not been verified; treat it as an estimate.
Likely branches of larger groups, government bodies, colleges and universities are left out (private schools and non-profits are kept).
Company-level data only: no personal contacts. Not legal, tax or benefits advice.
