Big Company?
Recently, I am attending graduate school, so I am working part-time. I am moving and organizing things.
I have been contacted by several large companies, but since my studies are the priority, I am only working for a short period of time.
Which company has the most employees in the world? Do countries with large populations have many employees?

Why Walmart is the No.1?
Extensive Global Network
Walmart is a global retail giant operating over 10,500 stores worldwide, requiring a vast workforce.
Diverse Business Model
The company manages a large workforce across various sectors, including physical stores, distribution centers, e-commerce, and customer service.
Low-Cost, Large-Scale Employment Strategy
To maintain low prices, Walmart leverages bulk purchasing and economies of scale, necessitating a massive number of employees.
Customer Service-Oriented Operations
As a retail business that directly interacts with customers, Walmart requires a high number of store employees and logistics staff.
Logistics and Supply Chain Management
Walmart operates one of the world's largest supply chain and logistics networks, which demands a significant workforce in distribution centers and delivery services.
My Thoughts
As expected, the United States is the land of the living! Walmart is a company that feels like E-Mart in Korea, but since the United States has a large land area and a large population, it has a lot of employees!
Most countries with large populations have a lot of employees.
The company with the most employees in Korea is Samsung Electronics, with about 124,804 employees.
What do you think is the best company?
