Too lazy to bother with proper research, but considering how big these companies are, asking your favorite LLM How many people work at Meta and Amazon combined? will yield about 1.5M people (+/- the usual yearly thousands of layofss/new hires).

that's just amazon. meta is tiny in comparison, with 75k people.

And most of those are probably warehouse and delivery workers.
