One thing about the resignations list is that there is no history to compare it to. It *seems* like a lot, but how many CEOs departed, died, retired or were fired in the same period a year ago, two years ago, three years ago.

As far as business there are about 15,000 businesses w/ 1,000 or more employees in the USA.

USA Business by Employee Size

The first business CEO is the head of Kentucky Venues, which runs the Kentucky State Fair. I think they have 900 employees, so they don't quite make my cutoff, but anyway, there are at least another 15,000 organizations that large in the USA.

1000 CEO's *sounds* intuitively like a lot, but if it's 1,000 out of 15,000 it's really not that exceptional. Average CEO tenure is 9.7 years (not sure what size company this is for)... So, you'd expect more like 2000 CEO exits a year from the over-1000-employee category.

The resignations from the Senate and House might be a little easier to investigate historical trends on.

Very true, Q said track resignations, whoever made the list took it to extremes for sure. I think its just a database for those who want to dig into CEO resignations, to have a place to find them.

Similarly, we have no idea how many sealed indictments have been unsealed, that list is just a database of the indictment filings.

Yup. That's why Eric Schmidt resigned during a stock boom within HOURS of President Trump's EO of ~ Dec. 21, 2017.

Because coincidence.
