You're right that my source was the wrong thing for that (I wasn't careful enough in my quick search). But profit per employee per year is much closer to a million than 250K. Here's the source I should have used :http://csimarket.com/stocks/singleEfficiencyeit.php?code=GOOG http://csimarket.com/stocks/singleEfficiencyeit.php?code=GOO... Note the numbers are quarterly, so that comes out to $900K. I was off a bit, so point taken, but my original point mostly stands, I think.

Where is that source getting data? Using Google finance: https://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3AGOOG&fstype=ii&ei=e3AwU7DDDonfiAKD1gE https://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3AGOOG&fstype=ii&ei=... Google made almost $13B in net income last year. They had 47,000 employees in Dec '13. That's about $275k/employee in net income.

  Hmm, yeah. Maybe they erroneously used gross profit (which is useless here). I cede the point.
