Behind charts like this new study from The Chartistry, which shows the nation’s biggest employers, lies the story of the millions of workers who make these businesses thrive. For example, we can see that Walmart employs a staggering number of people, over 2 million. That includes the cashier working at a rural Walmart, the forklift operator at a major warehouse, and the semi-retired greeter you see at the door. Walmart is more than just a department store; it’s a job that millions of Americans rely upon.
We see many examples of businesses in the healthcare industry included on the chart, like insurance brokers working at UnitedHealth Group, nurses working at HCA Healthcare hospitals, and pharmacists working for CVS Health. This extensive network of industries related to health, which employs hundreds of thousands of people, tells the story of a stable career path that offers a low barrier to entry but provides numerous opportunities for growth and advancement.
