Jobs by the Numbers
"In
1955 General Motors employed nearly 600,000 people. Today, in a much
larger economy, Google employs fewer than 50,000; eBay employs about
20,000 people in the United States; Facebook fewer than 6,000."
— Jeff Madrick, Harper's Magazine.

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
