万万没想到：世界最大雇主Top 10

Given the size of their populations, many people generally assume that the world’s largest employers are Chinese or Indian. However, according to research published by the World Economic Forum, the US Department of Defense boasts a workforce of 3.2 million people, making it the largest global employer. The Chinese military, the People’s Liberation Army, is in second position with a force of 2.3 million.

考虑到人口因素，很多人一般会认为世界上最大的雇主在中国或印度。但世界经济论坛发表的研究表明，拥有320万工作人员的美国国防部才是全球第一大雇主。拥有230万人的中国人民解放军排名第二。

Walmart and McDonald’s come third and fourth with 2.1 and 1.9 million employees respectively (the number for McDonald’s includes franchises). England’s National Health Service (NHS) makes a surprising appearance in fifth place with a 1.7 million strong workforce – more than Indian Railways or the Indian armed forces.

拥有210万人的沃尔玛和有190万人的麦当劳分列三四（麦当劳包括旗下连锁店的雇员数）。英国国家医疗服务体系出人意料的排名第五，拥有170万名雇员，比印度铁路或印度军队的人还多。
