"The researchers compared those companies to firms with 25 to 34 employees that didn’t have to release their data"

So they are comparing two different types of firms (with > 35 employees and between 25 and 34 employees): Doesn't that invalidate their study right there?

They did not directly compare the two types of companies, they compared evolution of each type.

Of course that's not perfect, but it's good enough
