Pingdom reports that Google (GOOG) made a stunning $209,624 profit per employee in 2008 (click on chart to enlarge).

Perhaps just as impressive is Microsoft’s (MSFT) $194,297 per person. When you consider MSFT has 4x the employees as Google–which typically means a lot more "non revenue generating" jobs–that’s quite an achievement.

Any surprises on that list? Yahoo (YHOO), anyone?
