It's easy. Amazon has 6,000 employees and $1.54 billion in sales in 1999. That's $256,700 per employee. It is not so easy. Amazon has been hiring temporary seasonal help and would hire another today if one became available. The 6,000 employee number is meaningless. In addition, how many are full or part time? A far superior metric would be gross revenue divided by employee compensation. Stock options count as compensation of course.
