Performance Food Group Co (PFGC)

Food distributor, 44,000 associates, 70% hourly. Read October 2, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending June 27, 2026, filed August 12, 2026. Ranked 2 of the 21 Consumer Defensive companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

The filing states the total, the full-time and hourly shares and the union count, nothing by segment, so the whole workforce takes the grocery wholesale pattern by description (c).

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
