Automakers, oil companies, and Wal-Mart
2006 FORTUNE 500: Shakeup at the top - Apr. 3, 2006
That's most of your top ten there. Wal-Mart was displaced to second -- for ExxonMobil, which is arguably more evil. There are two more oil companies (Chevron and ConocoPhillips), and two car companies (GM and Ford). Then you have GE, which does everything, and Citigroup and an insurance company, AIG. You have to get to tenth before you come across a computer company, and that's IBM. Except for the horrible, merger-inflicted names, it's really the same companies every year. (In case you're interested, Microsoft is 48th and Intel if 49th. But as relatively small as they are, they make a lot of money.
