Why aren't wages higher in the US?

The EU is super regulatory and has strong workers rights. The EU is cracking down on Uber and Airbnb. Workers elect almost half of the supervisory board of a company in Germany for example.

I think it's more an indication of the size of the US economy. If you looked at any list of 'publicly traded comapnies valued under X' the US would also probably lead that list as well.

Africa no doubt had some companies make the top 500 but the biggest would've been somewhere in the 300s. I am kind of surprsied that South Africa didn't make at least the group list though as they completely dominate the African continent in this category, like the 10 largest publicly traded companies in Africa are all South African.

Maybe those companies are monopolies or near monopolies that there’s no competition. IRC Samsung makes up approximately 20% of S.Korea’s GDP.

I would bet my salary that most of the US share is outside of Silicon Valley, although they may the largest single industrial contributor to it.

I’m a data professional and I absolutely agree with you, hahaha.
I’m also constantly torn between whether I collect “Walkmans” or “Walkmen” or “Walksman.”
And I change my pronunciation of “data” all willy nilly.

So this is number, not revenue? Would love to see full cap

I doubt it's more common, I also doubt many of those companies would make it into the top 500 regardless so it wouldn't effect this chart.

I think this depends on source/how GDP was estimated. 1890 is a common year I’ve seen where the US overtook the British empire, with 1871 being the date where the US overtook the UK alone.

The US is fifty different markets, every state has its own laws.

Exactly. And the important thing is learning why and how this happens. Venezuela is another outlier in economics. Look at the laws, regulations, political and economic systems each country has and you'll know why they have different levels of development.

Well, even if it is being used as a plural noun, data is a collective noun, so it would always be singular. So actually most people are wrong, including OP.

The US is a single market. The EU tries to be a single market, but isn't one.
Switzerland is an outlier on everything related to economics.

I have a guess. The Trump- Stormy Daniels thing and all the trump supporters at that time decided there is nothing wrong with porn. What do I have to support this? Absolutely nothing.

Yup that’s what was looking at but your python/js must grab the data and store it. That was what I was missing.
Great job on this

Or a company, or a concept like 'Big Data is watching you'.
