Well, I am surprised. I wasn't expecting them to take up 80% of the list.

I'm sure this doesn't include the millions of defense contractors that exist solely on DOD money. You could basically add all employees of Lockheed, General Dynamics, Boeing, Northrop Grumann, etc to this total. I'd be willing to wager the number of "employees" including contractors approaches 10 million.

The economy's great if you're in the murder or debt business, but not so much for anyone else

All I can say is I love Walmart and McDonald's. May they live long and prosper.

This is why we need a civilian force, larger and better equipped than our military... /s

Just look at the names of those employers.

I tell you, porn companies will do anything to disguise their true identities.

All I can say is India must have an awesome rail system. Or is it pedal powered?
