Pharma Companies Ranked by Revenue per Second

Published

on

Pharmaceuticals in America are notoriously expensive, sometimes to the point of being out of reach for those who truly need them. For example, in 2019, people in the U.S. paid an average of $30,808 for a 28-day supply of Harvoni, a medication for hepatitis C. The same medication costs $4,944 in Chile and $14,720 in Switzerland! What about Lantus, a long-acting insulin for diabetes? The cost of 5 syringes is $59 in Greece, $80 in Germany, and $107 in the United Arab Emirates. In the United States, 5 syringes cost a staggering $419! The global pharmaceutical market earned over $1.4 trillion in 2021. $574 billion of that belonged to the United States, making it by far the most dominant player in the field. So just how profitable are pharmaceutical companies? The team at Insurist has created this striking visual guide to how much the biggest pharmaceutical companies make per second.

The mos profitable pharmaceutical company, Pfizer, made a mind-blowing $2,578 per second in 2021! Pfizer made $81.288 billion in 2021, nearly double the profit it made in 2020. Pfizer’s massive surge in revenue is attributed to creating the mRNA vaccine for COVID, which has claimed 70% of the U.S. and European markets. They also created Paxlovid, the antiviral of choice used to treat coronavirus symptoms. So thank goodness for Pfizer – just imagine how many lives Pfizer scientists have saved. Overall I really love how they chose to visualize the revenue – it is creative, eye-catching, and aesthetically pleasing!

Published

on

There are more remote workers in the U.S. than ever before. Ever since the coronavirus pandemic, a new way of work has swept the nation with workers and businesses opting to work remotely. While shared work and office spaces are popular, many people choose to work from the comfort of their homes. A new map created by Qualtrics shows us the most popular American cities for remote work and the least popular.

Which U.S. Cities Have the Largest (and Smallest) Remote Workforce?

 

These cities had the highest percentage of remote workforces:

  1. Cary, NC remote workforce – 41.4%
  2. Frisco, TX remote workforce – 39.7%
  3. Bellevue, WA remote workforce – 38.6%

Many people say they prefer remote work because of the money and time working from home saves. It makes sense that cities with a good cost of living and other attractive aspects would be home to more remote workers than expensive or unpleasant cities. Looking at this map gives us a good look at which cities people would choose to live in when they could truly choose to live anywhere!

America’s Most Valuable Companies Ranked by Profit per Employee

Published

on

Ever wonder how much money major corporations make per employee? Profit Per Employee (PPE) is determined by dividing the company’s profit by the company’s quantity of full-time employees. The most profitable companies may not necessarily be the most profitable by number of employees—and vice versa. Whenever the economy is uncertain, this formula is usually one of the metrics companies will monitor to determine the efficiency and productivity of their staff. Using data over profit and company size from 2023, our team at The Chartistry has ranked the top 50 companies with the highest profit per worker.

With a profit of nearly $2 million for each of their 9,500 employees, ConocoPhillips ranks first for highest profit per employee by quite the large margin. ConocoPhillips, an American oil and gas producer, saw a total profit almost $18.7 billion in 2023. Since oil and gas are two of the most valuable energy commodities in the world, it is not uncommon for an energy company to rank high in terms of PPE since their net profit is typically quite expansive. Of the top 50 companies with the highest profit for every employee, six of them can be categorized under the energy sector.

Coming in second place, Prologis is an investment trust company that saw a total profit of $3.4 billion in 2023. This profit was divided by their 2,466 employees to end with a profit of $1.36 million per employee.

In third, there is the tobacco company Altria Group. Altria Group’s 2023 profit of $5.8 billion was divided by 6,300 employees to result in a profit per employee of $915 thousand. Tobacco is yet another commodity product, with only one other tobacco company making the top 50 ranking.

Exxon Mobil is another oil and gas company with high profit per employee, coming in fourth place. Out of their profit of $55.7 million in 2023, their 62,000 employees averaged a profit of $899 thousand each.

Rounding out the top 5 companies is Chevron, the third oil and gas energy company in the top companies by profit per employee. With a total profit of $35.3 million, their PPE comes out to $809 thousand for each of their 43,846 employees.

Some companies land rank in both the most profitable in the world overall as well as in profit per worker. Apple, for example, brought in a 2023 profit of nearly a $100 billion. The company itself is valued at a total of $2.1 trillion. They managed a PPE of $609 thousand for their 164,000 employees, making them seventh among all companies.

Why is Profit per Employee Important?

For every company with an impressive profit per employee, there are tens, hundreds, even thousands of people working at the front line and behind the scenes to keep operations running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. PPE, not to be confused with Revenue per Employee, is a way for the company to measure the performance and productivity of the average employee in any given workforce to judge their added value. In other words, a way to know if their investment in hiring, retaining, and training their employees returned desirable results. Of course, it isn’t and shouldn’t be the only method to judge the value of an employee. When used in combination with other metrics, however, it can be a helpful tool to see the what employees have brought to the company.

For the majority of situations, a healthy profit per employee will be a good indicator of the health of the company at large. It shows that the business is properly maximizing the streamlining of their operations and utilizing the talent of each employee. This performance can mean that an underwhelming PPE may lead to cost-cutting measures for the company. Oftentimes, this is in the form of employee layoffs in areas that may not be contributing to the overall profit.

New Research Shows Which Vehicle Makes and Models are Deadliest

Published

on

Fatal accidents are all too common in the United States, but some crucial factors can affect whether an accident becomes deadly. One of those factors is the safety features of the vehicles involved. Makes and models aren’t equally safe, and the research conducted by the team at Convoy Car Shipping makes this grim fact clear.

The research used data from government organizations to study the statistics on which vehicles were involved in fatal accidents and how many fatal accidents a given vehicle was involved in compared to number of them on the road. The results give us a balanced look at which makes and models have the worst track record of fatal accidents.

What Are the Deadliest Vehicle Makes and Models in the United States

The research shows that these vehicles are the deadliest:

  • Ford Ranger
  • Jeep Cherokee
  • Dodge Charger
  • Nissan Maxima
  • Ford Taurus
  • Ford Mustang
  • Chevrolet Camaro
  • Chevrolet Blazer/Tahoe
  • Chevrolet Silverado
  • Ford Expedition

American-made vehicles aren’t looking safe when we consider the number of Ford and Chevy models on this top ten list. Examine the data to find information on even more vehicles. You’ll also see that this make/model list differs from overall crash statistics. The broader picture proved Harley Davidson motorcycles to be the second most deadly vehicles. We think that this skews the story the data tells because motorcycles have far fewer safety features than cars and trucks. The team at Convoy Car Shipping should be applauded for their attention to detail that considers the unequal safety standard on cars and trucks versus motorcycles. The research gives us all possible data so that vehicle owners can draw their own conclusions.
