Clear Secure, Inc. (YOU)

Airport identity lanes, a technology platform. Read November 8, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 25, 2026. Ranked 236 of the 238 Technology companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

An identity verification company whose Ambassadors and field managers, about 3,708 full- and part-time, staff its airport and venue lanes, with the platform and corporate staff behind them and no total stated.

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: 26% now, 31% at the end of 2027, 32% at the end of 2028, 32% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 32% desk work, 24% people work and 44% 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), 26% becomes checking a model's work and 4% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

Headcount

Not stated in the filing. The filing describes a nationwide network of U.S. airports, retail locations and venues and nothing abroad, so the U.S. share is recorded as 1, flagged.

The workforce as industry patterns

What the filing says about the workforce: 3,301 full-time employees at December 31, 2025, with the largest workforces in New York, New Jersey and Los Angeles; approximately 3,708 part-time and full-time Ambassadors and field managers across the locations; no total of full-time and part-time employees stated.

Companies read with the same leading pattern

Headcount by filing year

As reported in each year's annual report, with the filing. A year marked not read had no figure the reading could take from the report's text.

Limits of this reading

• The filing states 3,301 full-time employees and a 3,708-person part-time and full-time Ambassador workforce, but no total of all employees, so the headcount is not stated (rule 2) with both figures in the notes; the data service's 3,301 is the full-time count.
• The split is by description around the one stated count; the filing counts no employees by function.
• The U.S. share is read from the filing's description, not stated as a share.
