You know, the car companies don't really employ a huge number of people anymore. Between their market share being way down, and them selling/spinning off so many of their captive divisions and outsourcing that work, they're really not that big. It's been a long time since GM was at the top of the Fortune 500. According to something I just looked up, GM last year had 284,000 employees (and I think that's a global number), less than Ford.
PS According to that same source, Wal-Mart has 2.1 million employees.
