Economic Data Tidbit...

My new diversion during coffee breaks is the Annual "Pocket World in Figures," published annually by The Economist and received "free" with my subscription. Today's interesting tidbit is largest companies in the world by gross sales (in billions of $)

1. Exxon Mobil $339.9
2. Wal-Mart $315.7
3. Royal Dutch Shell Group $306.7
4. BP $267.6
5. General Motors $192.6
6. Chevron $189.5
7. DaimlerChrysler $186.1
8. Toyota Motor $185.8
9. Ford Motor $177.2
10. ConocoPhilips $166.7


Anyone notice any similarities amongst this group?
