Almost all are factory employees assembling iPhones and the like. Not sure if I would consider that IT employment like a lot of the others on that list (Amazon's is also inflated quite a bit with warehouse and retail/grocery staff).

Apple too. Retail AFAIK is the largest division.

The number doesn't seem right. Because I know Foxconn has over 1M employees, and at one point it was close to two million.

May be those numbers are Full time employees?

*And in case you are wondering if it is those foxconn robots taking jobs. No it is not. Not in any significant number.

Same order of magnitudes as all of the UK NHS. Wow!

726k is 4th ?

ranked by revenue. By employee count, it is the largest

that’s how you know it’s heavily inflated by manual labor / factory staff

>"The list is limited to companies with annual revenues exceeding US$50 billion."
