And nine of the top ten largest private companies are dependent upon gasoline if you include Toyota. I'm not including Japan Post as the tenth biggest because it is a state-owned enterprise and it is weird because it only has 3251 employees which is the smallest number of any company on the complete list of almost 200 companies. The complete list is also interesting because it reveals industries where there are serious economies of scale and absent industries like plumbing, law, or pediatrics where they do not exist.
