What Percentage of the US Workforce is Employed by Walmart?
Walmart employs about 1% of the working population in the U.S. — that's about 1.5 million people. To put that in perspective, that's more than the entire populations of Iceland, Monaco and Macau combined.
More facts on Walmart:
The largest Walmart store in the world is in Albany, New York. It is more than 250,000 square feet (more than 23,000 square meters), which is about one-fourth larger than a regular Walmart Supercenter.
There are around 9,000 Walmart stores worldwide, with about 5,700 stores outside the U.S., including in China, India and Brazil, although most of them operate under different names.
Walmart doesn't just stick to consumer goods — it makes movies as well. In 2010, Walmart and Procter & Gamble made two feature-length family movies that heavily feature people using Walmart and Procter & Gamble products.
