Employees at the fiscal year end, as filed. The consolidated figure covers the whole group and already includes the parent company's own staff, so the two bars are alternatives rather than parts of a whole.
Average annual pay of the parent company's employees (left axis, ¥ million), with their average length of service and average age (right axis, years). Pay is total annual compensation including bonuses, as disclosed in the filing.
The full series behind both charts. A dash is a year the filing did not disclose that figure — it is not a zero.
