100 full time equivalent employees PER STORE!?!?
The Companys marketable securities investment portfolio is invested primarily in highly-rated securities and its investment policy generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The policy requires investments generally to be investment grade with the objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. As of September*29, 2012 and September*24, 2011, $82.6 billion and $54.3 billion, respectively, of the Companys cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were held by foreign subsidiaries and are generally based in U.S. dollar-denominated holdings.
$515,000 sales per full-time employee...not bad!
That's a lot of Jobs. The overseas manufacturing can be looked past considering how many people are putting food on the table because of Apple products.
check the ebay part departament. Massive unibody macbook's magsafe board, and motherboard problems. Most apple sales come from software and apps. The only pieces of hardware, that are somehow OK : iphone, mac pro and imac. Apple almost left portable laptop market, since products are so flawed.

Yeah, I agree... the laptops are junk. I can only get about 5 years of daily use out of them before they have to be replaced. Sucks!
Too bad the sales folk don't get commission. They could be rich instead of being stuck in a job with almost no chance of promotion.
I wouldn't want sales people up sell me every time I walk into a Apple store.
If they are un-happy at Apple they should look for abetter pay job else where. As you say, it's better than a poke in the eye

Nice proof-reading.
108.7 employees per store is quite a lot, I admit, but no matter how much time I spend looking around, I can never locate that .7 of an employee
Ugh, it was originally 42,800 by mistake. Read the thread.@ Quote:
Apple now has 42,800 "full-time equivalent" employees, up from 60,400 last year.

Read Again friend.
Apple today filed its 2012 annual report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the document reveals a few interesting tidbits of information:
- Apple now has ...72,800...(not 42,800)... "full-time equivalent" employees, up from 60,400 last year. The company also went from employing 2,900 "full-time equivalent" temporary employees and contractors to 3,300. 42,400 "full-time equivalent" employees are in the retail division, up from 36,000 last year.
And we wonder why the 13" Macbook Pro Retina with 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD is $1700, about $800 over priced and at least $400 from anyone calling reasonable. PS.. its in stock everywhere but folks homes and I suspect it will remain that way
more than 100 people per store? Perhaps most of them are in back, working on hardware without a sight of daylight. This number includes full and part time people, hired for a month or so and people who work for at least a few years. There is no physical way to fit all these people in store on different 8 hour shifts.
Very few. Apple contracts for manufacture, rather than employing.how many of these are in China? Computers are made in China, US gets only service, communication, shipping jobs and some design.
Nope, retail only. Grab a calculator to prove it, I'm sure whatever device you type posts on has a calculator.I believe that's all the workers combined and that blows that number out of proportion. They all don't work in the Apple Stores. More like factories and call centers, outside the US.
But Mittens told me the economy was tanking??? Hmmm.
