Doesn't McDonnalds mostly franchise out? Are employees of franchices counted in this? It must be because by glancing the wikisource you gave.... But it has no reference and the McDonnalds page itself lists "200,000" employees.

Out of the 15 companies you sourced from Wikipedia, only 7 have actual references backing up the data. Unreferenced wikipedia information isn't the same as sourced information.

Edit: Diving a little deeper cuz i'm procrestinating. This list can probably be confirmed by 2 hours of a deeper dive into the (english version) pages of all the government employers you listed. Combined by the 2020 Statista research into private companies and the confirmed data about militaries.
