Google and Facebook have a combined market cap of 900 billion, and employ 70,000 people between the two of them. Their profit last year was ~20 billion.

Ford alone employs 200,000 people, with a market cap of... 48 billion. And a profit of ~7 billion. GM also employs ~200,000 people. With a market cap of... 50 billion. And a profit of ~7 billion.

Tech employs very few people, compared to the amount of money it brings in.
