I was playing around with visualising the S&P 500 by market cap and decided to add employees to each company's bubble.
What surprised me was how empty some of the biggest companies looked.
Nvidia is worth $5.2 trillion but employs only 42,000 people. That's around $124 million in market cap per employee. Meanwhile, Accenture employs 814,000 people and is worth $146 billion.
Each stick figure represents 10,000 employees. You can zoom in and explore individual companies.
I wrote a bit more about what I found here: The S&P 500 Has 29 Million Employees. They're Not Where You Think.
Would be interested to hear what you think.
