According to the link below, there are 7,000 in the Trafford Centre
alone, not to mention the huge industrial area of the Park.

If I've not read it incorrectly, it is claimed that some 40,000 work
in the entire Park - making it rather bigger in employment terms than
Heathrow.

See the following reference in Hansard for November 2001:

According to figures published last year, direct employment at
Heathrow is about 68,000. For every person directly employed at
the airport, it is estimated that there are three in the supply
chain.
