The Sacramento Business Journal’s list of employers includes more than 380 businesses, nonprofits and government organizations that collectively employ more than 360,000 people locally — and millions more across the nation and world. Think of it as a census of the entities that power the workforce in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties.

The online version of this ranking goes beyond what appears in print, featuring more than 300 additional organizations in our digital database, in addition to the 38 highlighted in this week’s print edition.

This week's List continues a shift in our research methodology and philosophy, one that emphasizes more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 40-plus sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. This effort identified thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — last year alone.

Information for The List was gathered through SBJ’s own research and from employer questionnaires that SBJ could not independently verify. In case of ties, organizations are ranked by total employment, then listed alphabetically if ties remain.
