100 Biggest Non-Governmental Employers

Clearing the record: In the Top 100, Independence Blue Cross was omitted from the list of 100 biggest nongovernmental employers, because of a miscommunication from the company. It had 8,934 employees in the region as of October, which ranks it No. 18 and pushes down the rankings of others below it.

Chosen from all employers operating in the 10-county region, regardless of headquarters location. Included are private companies and nonprofit organizations with at least 3,000 employees. Figures are rounded to the nearest 100, but rankings are based on company-reported figures.
