Questions about these rankings

Why is there no fastest-growing list by city?

Autobound has no headquarters field for companies, and the city of a job is not where a company grows. Growth is shown by industry only.

Where does the employee count come from?

From data.numberOfEmployees in the weekly hiring-velocity signal. The ranking compares two batches of that same field.
