Where Paychex Inc has ranked, year by year
Each point is that year's ranking on ten years of fundamentals, as a share of every company we could rank at the time. Higher is better. We show the share rather than the place because the number of companies grows — 558 in 2001, 2,060 in 2021 — so the same place means something different at either end.
