The full Fortune 1000 list is out, and as always, its rather interesting if just for the surprises:
Fortune 1000 Top 20
1. Wal-Mart Stores 378,799.0 12,731.0 2. Exxon Mobil 372,824.0 40,610.0 3. Chevron 210,783.0 18,688.0 4. General Motors 182,347.0 -38,732.0 5. ConocoPhillips 178,558.0 11,891.0 6. General Electric 176,656.0 22,208.0 7. Ford Motor 172,468.0 -2,723.0 8. Citigroup 159,229.0 3,617.0 9. Bank of America Corp. 119,190.0 14,982.0 10. AT&T 118,928.0 11,951.0 11.
Berkshire Hathaway 118,245.0 13,213.0 12. J.P. Morgan Chase 116,353.0 15,365.0 13. AIG 110,064.0 6,200.0 14. Hewlett-Packard 104,286.0 7,264.0 15. IBM 98,786.0 10,418.0 16.

Some surprises on the list: I hadn't expected to see Ford come in at #7, or Berkshire Hathaway at 11, and Goldman Sachs at 20.
Fortune slices and dices the info in a variety of ways: Investment Returns by Industry; You can also see the 20 Most Profitable companies.
I also like the nice mashup of Google Maps and the list -- this views is "25 Most Profitable firms."
