Before it split up last month, Rayonier employed about 1600 people, although most were not located in Jacksonville.  The vast majority of those employees went with the spinoff company, Rayonier Advanced Materials.  Both companies are still headquartered in downtown Jax.

Checking out the source, it looks like the list is the headquarters portion of the top employers section from this page, with Vystar added:

Going from the number of employees, I assume this is showing companies headquartered in Jax that employ over 1,000 in Jax.

companies with an asterisk* are companies with over 2,000 employees.

True.  But they're maintaining this location as a regional HQ - so we'd fall under that classification a la Fidelity.

And PSS was over 30 years old and a Jax native before McK acquired them.  There are definite ties to the area.
