Those from Pingdom they did a study in which they calculated how much money the employees of the big American companies bring in annually. The study ended with a list of the most profitable employees of American companies, a list in which, of course, Apple holds the first position. An Apple employee generates $420.000 in profit for the company annually, so almost half a million dollars from each employee. Google and Microsoft are in the 2nd and 3rd positions with $337.000 and $244.000 respectively in profit produced by each employee each year. The test difference is very large, especially between Apple and Microsoft, 2 companies that have been fighting for a long time in various technological fields.
Well, one employee produces x profit for the company annually, but the number of employees of each company also matters, right? With this statistic, Apple is somewhere in the middle, having only 46.000 employees, unlike Microsoft, which has 89.000, or Google, which has just over 26.000. So Apple's employees bring more profit to the company, even though they are fewer than Microsoft's, which represent almost double the number. Seeing these statistics, it is quite easy to put into perspective the huge profit that Apple earns annually and the way in which it managed to surpass Microsoft.
