全世界至少有6,500万人直接受雇于跨国企业,其中4,300万人在本国工作,另外2,200 万人则工作于国外,其中有700万人是在第三世界国家。这是国际劳工组织所提供的估计数字,它不包括银行,金融和服务行业,如果加上这些行业人数还将增加300万,同时它也不包括跨国公司因需要当地产品和服务所间接提供的工作。 At least 65 million people in the world are directly employed by multinational corporations, 43 million of whom work in their home countries and 22 million work abroad, of whom 7 million are in third world countries. This is the estimate provided by the ILO. It does not include the banking, finance and service industries. If these industries are added, the number will increase by 3 million. Nor does it include the indirect supply by multinational companies of the need for local products and services jobs.
