Where does the headcount come from?

It is the full-time employee figure each company reports in its profile, typically updated with the annual report. A company appears here only if it discloses a headcount.

Does this include part-time or contract workers?

Generally no. The figure is reported full-time employees, so workforces with large part-time, seasonal, or contractor bases can be larger in practice than the number shown.

We rank public companies by the full-time headcount reported in their company profile, refreshed nightly as disclosures update. Companies that do not report a headcount are excluded.

How This List Is Built

Public companies ranked by full-time headcount, the largest employers in the world by reported workforce. Headcount comes from each company’s latest disclosure.

We rank public companies by the full-time headcount reported in their company profile, refreshed nightly as disclosures update. Companies that do not report a headcount are excluded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the headcount come from?: It is the full-time employee figure each company reports in its profile, typically updated with the annual report. A company appears here only if it discloses a headcount.
Does this include part-time or contract workers?: Generally no. The figure is reported full-time employees, so workforces with large part-time, seasonal, or contractor bases can be larger in practice than the number shown.
