WHO GETS THE LION'S SHARE ?
In 1953 the Union Oil Company of California did a
$325,103,000 business. That’s big money. Who gets the
lion’s share of it?
The employees ?
In wages and other benefits, 9,263 Union Oil employees
earned $55,564,000. The average per employee: $5,998.
The tax collector ?
He did all right, too. Federal and other taxes took
$21,821,000.
(This does not include $55,239,000 additional in fuel
taxes which we collected for the government.)
The stockholders ?
No, the stockholders did not get the lion’s share.
They were paid $11,690,000 for the use of their
money, plus a dividend of one share of common stock
for each ten shares of common held. This was divided
among more than 40,000 people. , v
Well, who did get the lion’s share ?
After we replenished working capital by $20,088,000
(over and above the $55,564,000 paid employees, the
$21,821,000 that went to the tax collector and the
$11,690,000 to stockholders), the lion’s share — or
$215,940,000—was divided among more than ten thou
sand companies and individuals we do business with.
Some went for services. Some for materials. Some
for wages.
But all of the lion’s share of .Union Oil’s 1953 gross
income was reinvested in the American economy.
Maybe it helped make your job a better one.
