The Workforce AI Index · Industrials
Quanta Services, Inc. (PWR)
Utility infrastructure contractor, one pattern. Read October 1, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending 2025-12-31, filed 2026-02-19. Ranked 26 of the 28 Industrials companies read so far, by the share within reach now: the sector.
The filing counts 55,700 hourly and 13,800 salaried employees, 64,400 of them in the U.S., in utility construction, so one pattern carries the workforce (a).
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.
