Overview of Dow's employment figures

As a household name, Dow has been a relatively large employer, particularly in North America, for a long time. Although Dow's post-DowDuPont-spin-off employment numbers are lower than they were prior to the creation of the conglomerate, they remain substantial. Of the company's nearly 38,000 global employees, 70.5 percent were men as of 2022. The United States and Canada accounted for a combined 49 percent of all of Dow's employees that year. Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India accounted for 29 percent, the second largest regional share of Dow's employees.
