Two views of Milwaukee's economy: the registered/startup layer and the street-level business fabric, with the largest tracked employers.
Milwaukee’s industry mix has two faces: sports and manufacturing score 10/10, while retail, healthcare and technology each reach 9/10. The registry also shows dense marketing, real-estate and nonprofit layers; Sikich’s acquisition of Milwaukee-based Jefferson Wells adds a fresh professional-services deal.
