How many snow shovels sold in the US last year?

There are roughly 400 million people in the US About 100 million people live in areas where having a snow shovel would make sense (NY and Pennsylvania are large) A snow shovel likely only needs to be replaced every 10 years 100/10 = 10 million The average home size is ~2.5 10/2.5 = 4 million homes each home likely has about 1.5 shovels on average 4*1.5 = 6 My educated guess would be 6 million (although my intuition is this is a little high)

Greater than the number of Tasers

All of them. Every single one that was purchased.

About 1000 for ever Taser sold, but I'm here to fix that.

None. I have yet to meet a snow shovel capable of selling anything.

January 22, 2014 To Whom It May Concern, I am applying for the position of Office Administrator with your company. After reviewing my resume', I feel you will agree that my experience & skills make me a perfect candidate to fill the position. I look forward to talking with you in the near future in regard to the position. Hopefully more than AK-47's.

Well, since this is a LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT question, I suggest we re-evaluate our priorities and strike this question in lieu of a more relevant one.

Less than or equal to the number that were available for purchase

The same quantity as snow shovels purchased in the US last year.

42

I would guess that about 20% of americans are homeowners - about 60 million people. Among them, only about 20% live a climate cold enough to warrant a snow shovel - 12 million people. Those people don't need to buy snow shovels very frequently. A good snow shovel will last you about 6 years - 2 million. I would estimate that 2 million snow shovels are sold each year in the US.

More than the year before, based on the recent weather.

I do not know because I am not a businessman snow shovels

Almost as many as immigrating families and new families combined.

Enough to get the job done for the people that bought them.

Only the ones that had a Free Taser coupon from your company attached to them. You should know the figure - you work here - don't you ?

too many...
