An opinion about Exxon's profits

| | Comments (0)

I usually try to stay away from opinion pieces for blogs, but I thought this one referenced a lot of good information in terms of how people see the very broadly termed group "big business."

It ranks the profit margins (basically, the amount of money companies keep for themselves after they sell stuff to people) that the average company pulls in by industry. Anyone surprised at the leading profit margin-generating industries?

Of course, as with anything marked with the opinion label, take it with a grain of salt, but if you want to educate yourself with some background on this whole "windfall profit" debate going on, I'd recommend this as something to read.
