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.

 

This is a list of 20 leading companies in the world based on the number of employees:

 

1. Walmart, USA. 2,200,000 employees

2. Amazon, USA. 1,271,000 employees

3. Volkswagen, Germany. 662,653 employees.

4. FedEx, USA. 570,000 employees.

5. Deutsche Post, Germany. 565,053 employees.

6. Compass Group, United Kingdom. 548,143 employees.

7. United Parcel Service, USA. 540,000 employees.

Marshall Alumni Union, Georgia - International and Security Research Center    For several hours on June 24 of this year, Russia was on the verge of a civil war.

Ukraine's expected counterattack and possible de-occupation of the country

  Ukraine's expected counterattack and Possible De-Occupation of the Country Nika Chitadze Professor of the International Black Sea University Director of the Center for International Studies President of the George C. Marshall Alumni Union, Georgia - International and Security Research Center  As expected, Ukraine's counteroffensive against the Russian occupation forces has already begun, although it has not yet entered the decisive phase. It should be noted that the past 5 months were particularly difficult for Ukrainian soldiers - the period when Ukraine began to save forces to prepare for a large-scale counteroffensive. In recent months, Ukraine has withdrawn most of its combat-ready units from the front line, and thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have gone abroad for training. The newly formed and refreshed brigades were left intact by the military-political leadership of Ukraine and did not involve them in heavy winter battles.   All this happened against the backgrou
