Talk:List of companies by employees (2006)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I felt this was an important list to add - a company's impact is felt way beyond its revenues. In the global marketplace, a company like #7 Agricultural Bank of China was #377 in revenues, but employed nearly half a million people. In parts of the world where employees and customers alike have less money than in the US, we wouldn't be comparing apples to apples.
That being said, none of this is original research. Obviously this imformation has been available. It just hasn't been shown in Wikipedia this way before. I do have the entire list of 500 in Excel, which I hate to throw away. It's a useful tool for anyone creating 2005 or 2007 lists. Is there any way to save that? I keyed in the employment numbers from the Fortune website and I'd hate to do that again.
Also, considering that #486 on the Fortune list had 332,000 employees, I would almost guarantee that there are many other companies with over 200,000. I wasn't ready to spend the time researching through the Fortune Global 2000 for them, however. I hope anyone familiar with those companies can add them with proper documentation. Should I mark the 61 companies I added with an "F" or something to mark where they came from? I don't want to clutter the screen with external hyperlinks for each line.

I don't know if this content is useful, I sorted the list in revenue/employee and profit/employee. It seems like a freaky examination. But the results could be interesting. For example, Toyota motors is first and MacDonalds is last concerning revenue per employee. CityGroup is first concerning profit per employee. The other figures might not all be very relevant or interesting, I just thought I would copy this here. --Rougieux (talk) 17:13, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
