Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM)

Oil and gas, 58,000 regular employees, 59% abroad. Read October 2, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 18, 2026. Ranked 1 of the 5 Energy companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

The filing states one regular employee count and the share from outside the U.S., nothing by segment, so the upstream, refining and chemical shares are by description (c), said so.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

By the patterns, the work is about 42% desk work, 13% people work and 45% body work.
