Berkshire Hathaway Inc. - Analyst Insights

Berkshire Hathaway adds 12,000 jobs in 2021

Berkshire Hathaway added 12,000 jobs to its workforce over 2021 as the economy began to grow following the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. Its businesses now have approximately 372,000 employees. However, this is still well below the figures from the end of 2019, as economic turmoil stemming from the pandemic caused Berkshire Hathaway-controlled businesses to shed more than 31,000 jobs over 2020. Increased employee counts, in addition to a strengthening economy, are forecast to result in a record-high operating profit when 2021 earnings are released

COVID


In response to volatile demand in the wake of the first COVID-19 surge, the company undertook a comprehensive cost reduction program, aimed at shoring up labor and supply costs.
