A fuel company whose filing states 8,910 employees after acquiring Parkland and nothing by business, so retail sites lead by description with fuel distribution, pipelines and refining beside them.
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.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 23% now, 29% at the end of 2027, 31% at the end of 2028, 32% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 32% desk work, 20% people work and 48% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 68% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 20% becomes checking a model's work and 10% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
Headcount
8,910 employees as of December 31, 2025 (stated). Not stated: the count rose from 3,298 to 8,910 with the Parkland acquisition in Canada and the Caribbean, and the data service's 89% United States is revenue; the 3,193 named as the pay-ratio population are all in the United States but are not the whole workforce.
The filing: “As of December 31, 2025, Sunoco employed an aggregate of 8,910 employees, 628 of which are represented by labor unions.”
The workforce as industry patterns
| Pattern | Share | Reason, from the filing |
|---|---|---|
| Gasoline Stations | 40% | By description (c): the filing describes company-operated retail fuel and convenience sites, mostly those acquired with Parkland in Canada and the Caribbean, which carry the most people per dollar of sales, with no count by business. |
| Merchant Wholesalers, Nondurable Goods (4241, 4247, and 4249 only) | 35% | By description (c): the fuel distribution business supplies motor fuel to dealers, distributors and commission agents across the United States, petroleum products wholesaling (NAICS 4247), with no count stated. |
| Other Pipeline Transportation | 15% | By description (c): the pipeline systems and terminals business operates refined product and crude pipelines and storage terminals, with no count stated, so a share is read at pipeline transportation. |
| Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing | 10% | By description (c): the filing describes a refinery acquired with Parkland, with no count of its people, so a tenth is read at petroleum refining. |
What the filing says about the workforce: 8,910 employees as of December 31, 2025, 628 represented by labor unions; the count was 3,298 a year earlier, before the Parkland acquisition; the pay-ratio population was 3,193, all in the United States; environmental, health and safety professionals train the field representatives.

Limits of this reading
- The U.S. share is not stated; the Parkland acquisition added operations in Canada and the Caribbean.
- No count by business: the split among retail sites, fuel distribution, pipelines and refining is by description (c) after the acquisition, and the data service's revenue table is by type.
- SunocoCorp LLC (SUNC) files the same 8,910-person workforce under its own registration and is skipped unread, a class for the universe step.

Questions about this company
- How much of Sunoco LP's working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 23% now and 31% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Sunoco LP's own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. It is an estimate with a stated method. It is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings, and it says nothing about what the company will do.
- How many people does Sunoco LP employ?
- 8,910 as of December 31, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025 states.
- What kinds of work make up Sunoco LP's workforce?
- Read from its annual report as a blend of 4 industry staffing patterns, the largest Gasoline Stations; by those patterns the work is about 32% desk work, 20% people work and 48% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.
- What does Sunoco LP's annual report say about AI?
- 1 sentence in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 0, 0 and 1 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on October 19, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
