Total number of GE employees
General Electric conducts business in 175 countries and is active in the fields of energy, aircraft components, medical electrical devices and lighting. With revenue streams of approximately 124 billion U.S. dollars and a brand value of about 54 billion U.S. dollars, GE is ranked among the most valuable brands worldwide.
In 2016, the diversified infrastructure and financial services corporation employed around 295,000 people worldwide, some 104,000 of which were based in the United States. The firm’s power segment holds the largest share of the workforce. Following a tax hike in its home state, the Connecticut-headquartered company is rumored to consider a move to Boston to keep payments in check. It is yet to be seen what a potential move might mean for employees at GE’s locations in Connecticut.
