how many individual products do you think are available in the entire world? remember that even the brown color in a snickers candy bar wrapper is a product of its own and this is true for most products we can see. The machinery to make products that become products of other products are themselves constructed of products also. Before you answer think of this also, politicians, police, military personnel, children, their school teachers, the elderly and mentally challenged, the rich, disabled, also the world inmate population, the homeless and the lazy, third world folks where opportunity isn't available, secretary's and computer programmers, and so many more people who make no actual product exist. So I ask again, How many products could there possibly be on the entire planet earth?

I do not think that there can be an exact answer as things keep being made everyday, new products, new color and new people doing new things. If I had to estimate it would be millions. For jobs like it was listed in the question, I think more and more people are employed everyday so that also makes up a product. So as the world continues to grow, I think there will also be a constantly increasing number of product.
