Search giant Google, considered to be among the most innovative companies in the world, may have as many as one million employees one day, according to its CEO and co-founder Larry Page.
In an interview with Wired magazine, Page said "imagine what we could do if we had a hundred times as many employees."
Despite saying that he dreams of a time when Google will have a million-strong workforce, Page then tempered his statement by adding, "may be it's not important for us to have a million employees, but I like to think that we could build companies that are really scalable to that size."
Therefore, it definitely seems that Google's CEO is thinking of swelling the employee strength of the organisation. At present, the company employs around 60,000 people and is far from making this figure a reality for Page.
Top technology companies Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook enjoy market valuation of $1 trillion, but employ just 150,000 people. This is a small figure considering the retail giant WalMart is responsible for 2.2 million employees and fast food giant McDonald's has a 1.9-million-strong workforce.
