> How may work at Google or Microsoft. How many are creating Startups?

I know that the real question is about Mensa or other high IQ groups but be aware that both Google and Microsoft employ about as many "contract" employees as they do full-time employees.

Microsoft can largely be credited with initiating the strategy, which first started with functions that weren't essential to the corporate mission, such as receptionists or maintenance staff. However they've expanded it dramatically so that Redmond has more than 32,000 Microsoft employees and as many contract workers. Companies such as Kelly Services, Volt and Amplify Solutions now provide project managers, researchers, programmers, and product launch managers for a variety of projects.
