Most Valuable Employees

Energy companies, including Anadarko Petroleum Corp, are creating more market value per employee than any other industry, aided by technology that helps them bring oil and gas out of the ground. Three oil producers made the top 10 in an analysis showing which Standard & Poor’s 100-stock-index companies have the most valuable employees, based on their August 20 market capitalisation divided by the number of workers. Simon Property Group Inc, the biggest mall operator in the US, led the list and Apple Inc was placed third, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. (Click on graphic)
