Private Companies in Wisconsin
In their most recent issue, Forbes has published a list of America's Largest Private Companies. One of the peculiar things about Wisconsin has always been the number of large private concerns headquartered here. I went down through the first 100 companies on the list and Wisconsin is tied for third with Pennsylvania having seven companies on the list (California was first with 11 companies and New York was second with 10).
