This is not beautiful. It’s just data.
Four of the top five are deeply embedded in the logistics industry.
I’m going to Google it right after I post this, but WTH is a Concentrix?
Show local/state/fed gov total employees for comparison.
Fun fact: the NHS beats all but Walmart at 1.7 million people
FedEx with more than Marriott? Then why tf do more than half of my shipments have a problem lmao
*private sector
Federal government as a whole and DoD dwarfs all of these
I’d like to see the icons colored to show take-home pay every $10k. This would help us understand the quality of jobs and how the company is or isn’t contributing to the health of the community.
Yet again 80/20 in action. Beautiful
Does this include contract workers as well? Most of UPS/Fedex/Amazon delivery drivers are technically contractors I believe.
Economy as a Service. Not a single manufacturer, us not creating anything of value, just managing goods and Services.
I would think McDonald’s would be up there.
And how many of them are on some sort of government assistance?

You can tell when a number is bullshit when it’s rounded off to 5 zeroes.
Wait how the fuck is Berkshire so high? Is this counting things they own, rather than the org itself?
Berkshire Hathaway directly employs less than 30 people. Saying that they employ 400,000 is like saying Jeff Bezos employs 125,000 people because he owns 9% of Amazon’s shares. Berkshire is not the employer of hundreds of thousands.
How is Home Depot so high? I would never have imagined that they’re a target/kroger sided employer
Largest employer is the federal government.
Funny how my company would be middle of this list if it were American.
There are really that many Starbucks? Jesus
Call me crazy maybe corporations shouldn’t be allowed to get to a size where they are employing a comprehendible percentage of the population of a nation
You should have included USPS
Ironically Walmart and Amazon profit even more due to being the biggest recipients of food stamps and government aid. They pay their employees so little or keep them barely below full time and it’s on the taxpayer’s dime to actually subsidize their employees
Biggest slave owners by number
Accenture has about 800,000 employees
Now do biggest corporations based on the proportion of their employees getting government subsidies.
