Total employees per fiscal year — labels show year-over-year change

Understanding Employee Metrics
Employee count is the total headcount Apple Inc. reports in its annual filing, typically as of the fiscal year-end; where a company reports them, the figure includes part-time and seasonal staff, which can make retail and consumer headcounts swing with the calendar. Revenue per employee (revenue ÷ headcount) and net income per employee gauge workforce productivity — the higher and the more steadily they rise, the more output each employee generates. Comparing headcount growth with revenue growth shows operating leverage: revenue outpacing hiring means rising productivity, while headcount outpacing revenue can signal margin pressure. Productivity varies enormously by business model, so it is most meaningful compared with sector peers rather than across industries.
