These results are based on a survey of 2,000 Americans who, at the time of the survey, were employed by an employer in the US with at least 500 employees. The respondents are distributed across the US geographically and the sample was designed to include representation of key sub-segments including women, Black or African-American people, Hispanic or Latino people, people identifying as LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities. The survey ran from February 7-14, 2023. Survey data comes with certain limitations due to self-reporting, which include telescoping, exaggeration, and selective memory.
