Who is counted in the 85k number? Are low-wage positions (like janitorial services) considered employees, or are they employed through subcontractors?

Google counts them differently. When I worked there a few years ago, it was 65k FTE, and 65k TVCs (Temps, Vendors, Contractors). TVCs included the shuttle drivers, janitorial staff, etc. but also included some part time / temp "typical FTE roles" like UX researchers.
My guess is that this 85k is just FTE
