    I was only taking bets and did not place one. I broke even as there were a few joint favourites.

    I did a lot of research on this once in order to answer a question. As I remember it, Wal-mart's US employees number around 900,000 - more than twice as much as the next US company (which I think was IBM). But furthermore, they employ around 400,000 more in their foreign subsidiaries, making them the largest US employer of non-US employees. Sorry, I can't quote a source but I really don't feel like doing it all over again!
