Fortune 500 companies are some of the most powerful organizations in the world.

So it makes sense that some of their employees are the biggest donors when it comes to politics.

Career site Zippia recently ran a comprehensive breakdown of where companies fall on the political spectrum, based on their employees' political donations between the years 2007 and 2017.

Zippia looked into 250,000 of the largest public and private companies in the US with at least 150 political donors. They identified top donors through the Federal Election Committee's 32,000,000 political donation records, which date back to 2007.

Whether or not the donor contributed to the Republican or Democratic parties came down to looking into what or who they were writing checks for. Candidates were pretty to easy to figure out. Zippia only looked at PACs that gave over 60% of their funds to a specific political party.
