Some numbers to ponder

Some great numbers from the latest Fast Company:

Flying High
The market value ( $2 billion ) of JetBlue Airways, with a total of 3,100 employees, exceeds the combined market value of Northwest Airlines, UAL, and U.S. Airways Group, with a total of 175,000 employees.

The Real Scandal?
$60,000,000,000 = Destruction of shareholder wealth in the Enron scandal
$175,000,000,000 = Destruction of shareholder wealth in the WorldCom scandal
$450,000,000,000 = Destruction of shareholder wealth in the scandal-free decline of Cisco Systems
