The country of Iceland has a population of 332,529 - how many employees does Iceland the supermarket chain have?

[Peter Pedant]

Just over 30,000

I do quizzes and I would like to use it as a True Or False question. Such as True Or False:The supermarket chain Iceland has more employees than the actual island has population.

I expect most of the Iceland supply chain (distribution centres and transport) will be sub contracted to other companies, so it may not be many directly employed by Iceland.

For instance I know the Iceland distribution centre in Enfield is run by DHL, and most of the lorry drivers will be agency staff.

They employ "around 22,000" according to their site, http://about.iceland.co.uk/a-great-place-to-work/
