| Although most people associate Milwaukee's reputation
with its breweries, today companies like Miller Brewing employ
less than one percent of the city's workers. Milwaukee's reputation
as a blue collar town is more accurate, however, with 22 percent
of the workforce involved in manufacturing -- second only to
San Jose, CA and far higher than the national average of 16.5%.
Service and managerial jobs are the fastest growing segments
of the Milwaukee economy, and healthcare makes up 27% of all
service jobs in the city. |
| Milwaukee is headquarters to six Fortune 1000
manufacturers and six Fortune 1000 service companies. Among
these are Briggs & Stratton, Harley-Davidson, Johnson Controls,
Manpower Inc., Marshall & Ilsley, Northwestern Mutual, Rockwell
Automation, Roundy's and Wisconsin Energy. Milwaukee also has
a large number of financial service firms, particularly those
specializing in mutual funds, and a disproportionate number
of publishing and printing companies. |
