The list was created by Craft which provides a data analysis platform by machine learning. As a result of analyzing the data for 500 companies included in S & P 500 which is a major economic index of the United States, the following "top 50" was banished.

Taking the top 20 excerpt, it seems clear that "energy" is splendidly occupying most of the upper part with such feeling. "Energy" counts 13 companies out of 20 companies, followed by "Healthcare" 4, "Finance" 2, and "Consumer Staples (Daily necessities)". Even for the top 50, "energy" accounts for about half of 24 companies.

The strength of "energy" also appears in the actual RPE value. Graphing the average RPE in each field, "Energy" is the top of the tear, which is 2,267,000 dollars (about 250 million yen). It can be said that '896,000 dollars (about 99.5 million yen) in' health care 'is not a bad figure at all, but there are situations where it is more than doubled bigger than' energy '.

On the secret of the strength of "energy" Craft analyzed, "Because the source of profit is biased towards natural resources and physical assets". In other words, thanks to the structure unique to the energy industry, which moves machines with few people and produces valuable resources, this field is able to raise high RPE.

On the other hand, "Ranking 10 with the lowest ranking" in this analysis is the table below. Consumer Discretionary (Consumer Goods) is splendidly eight companies, and two companies' Infomation Technology (information technology) is interrupting. Among general consumer goods, "McDonald", "Starbucks", and the global hotel group "Hilton Worldwide" etc. are included. In addition, two companies of information technology are becoming companies that we hear in Japan, such as "Accenture" and "Cognizant" of consulting companies.

The fact that these companies occupied the bottom also said that there is a big reason for the corporate structure as well. The relatively low RPE such as McDonald's, Starbucks, Hilton Hotel, etc. is due to the industry-specific structure that more personnel have to be allocated accordingly. In addition, it is the same reason that the RPE of consulting companies such as Accenture goes down.

The table below shows the changes of the Tech industry from 2014 to 2017, excerpts and arranged in order of RPE. First place is "Apple", RPE is 1.86 million dollars (about 187 million yen). The growth rate of RPE during the period is 0%, both the revenue growth rate and the employee growth rate are 6%. "Facebook" in 2nd place is RPE growth rate as 0% as Apple, but it is also noteworthy that revenues and employee scale are greatly expanding. The third place was "Alphabet" with Google affiliated.
