Caterpillar's workforce decreased to 112,900 people in 2024. The number of employees bounced back after a gradual decline between 2013 and 2017, when the Illinois-based manufacturer of machinery and engines experienced a slump in sales and responded with layoffs. The reported fiscal year ends on December 31.
