I'd like to find a webpage or document that consolidate the number of employees and the revenues of the biggest corporations in the world. Where can I find an easy to read page like this ? Wikipedia have all the information but you have to browse from an article to another...

Like the Fortune Global 500? Annoying that you also have to go to additional pages to find employee headcount info, but at least the revenues are there.

This is a good place to start: Hoovers. You might also want to check out the SEC website to check government filings, but it would be like drinking water from a fire hose. Freeedgar might be a little easier to swallow.

I used to use something called OneSource which aggregates info on public and private companies. It was a subscription service retained by the corporate library of a large corporation I was contracting at. Perhaps your local library has access to something similar, they may even offer remote access over the web.
