NASDAQ-100 Revenue per Employee

I was discussing Revenue per Employee with some colleagues this week and noticed a lack of published ratios on the web. So I wrote a simple script to screen scrape revenue per employee data for the NASDAQ-100 from Google Finance. Note: I usually prefer Yahoo Finance because it is much more thorough, but I chose Google Finance for this application since it conveniently lists both revenue and employees on the page, making screen scraping easier.

Revenue per Employee is commonly used to compare productivity between companies in the same industry.

Revenue listed below is from each company’s latest full fiscal year as of February 6, 2009. Employee count comes from the latest quarter. Note that revenue for non-US companies (ADRs) is not in USD.
