  • "Chevron will remain headquartered in California," the report quoted spokesman Braden Reddall.
  • Mr. Reddall said about 200 employees elected to move to Houston.
  • Wall Street Journal said many businesses have cut back on real estate as more workers station themselves at home for part of the workweek, while some employees have moved across state lines to capture cheaper housing and costs of living as well as lower taxes offered by some states.
  • Price Action: CVX shares closed at $145.62 on Wednesday.
