This is a list of the world's largest public, private, and government-owned businesses by number of employees, as of year-end 2007. The list is limited to companies with 250,000 or more employees.
The companies on this list originally came from the year-end 2007 data compiled in the 2008 version of the Fortune Global 500. There are very likely companies with over 250,000 employees not on the Fortune Global 500. When adding those companies, please make sure to reference supporting documentation.
[edit] Cautionary notes
- Most figures come from the Fortune Global 500 list and should not change as companies grow and shrink. Any companies added to this list should have supporting documentation stating their year-end 2007 employment.
- Please do not tweak the Fortune employee counts unless you include a superior source for the corrected year-end 2007 information. Employee counts obviously fluctuate throughout the year, but the Fortune number is the one used in this list.
