TSMC — Headcount: 83,825

NoteThe source text from TSMC's 2024 Annual Report states: 'At the end of 2024, the Company and its subsidiaries employed more than 83,000 people worldwide.' The claim specifies 83,825 employees as of 2024-12 with a 9.6% increase from 2023. The source confirms the headcount is 'more than 83,000' at end of 2024, which is consistent with the exact value of 83,825 (within the '>83,000' range). The temporal match is exact (end of 2024 / 2024-12). While the source uses the phrase 'more than 83,000' rather than the precise figure, this is a typical rounding convention in annual reports, and 83,825 falls well within that characterization. The claim's additional context about 9.6% increase from 2023 is not contradicted by the source.
