2020-2021 was a particularly difficult year for the entire world economy. The full Lockdown, announced in the countries due to the pandemic, has harmed small and medium-sized businesses or entrepreneurs.

However, there have been cases where rapid response and the shift to digital have even made some businesses doubly profitable.

All of this, of course, has had little to do with the world's giant corporations and companies. With billions in profits in the competitive market, there has simply been a redistribution of order among the various giant companies.

By the end of 2021, out of the 10 most expensive companies in the world with a market capitalization of trillions, eight are American, one operating in Saudi Arabia and one in Taiwan.

 

Here are listed ten leading companies in the world:

 

• Apple - $ 2.944 trillion market capitalization (US)

• Microsoft - $ 2.571 trillion market capitalization (US)

• Alphabet - $ 1.969 trillion market capitalization (US)

• Saudi Aramco - $ 1.854 trillion market capitalization (Saudi Arabia)

• Amazon - $ 1.746 trillion market capitalization (US)

• Tesla - Market capital of $ 1.021 trillion (US)

• Meta (Facebook) - $ 917.28 billion market capitalization (US)

• NVIDIA - $ 752.53 billion market capitalization (US)

• Berkshire Hathaway - $ 645.37 billion in market capitalization (US)

• TSMC - Market capital of $ 617.81 billion (Taiwan)

 

 

As for the question of which is the largest employer in the world top-20 companies, first of all, it should be noted that today the problem of employment in the world, including in Georgia, remains one of the unresolved challenges. This issue became even more acute after the spread of the coronavirus. In the last two years alone, up to a million employees in the U.S. have been laid off. The rate is colossal worldwide.

It is interesting, which countries have been able to more or less stabilize unemployment and which are the companies that have the most employees worldwide?

As it turned out, most people are employed by companies based in the United States, China, and Germany.
