Financial figures for school districts and municipalities reflect most recent budgets. The Top 50 Employers list is ranked by the number of
employees in Washtenaw county as of January 22, 2010. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Target Corp. could not be reached to confirm employment data
and are therefore not included on this list. Other companies did not respond to repeated requests for information from Business Review. Information
from the 2010 Top 100 Employers List, and from other public sources, was used for those companies. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy
and thoroughness, omissions and typographical errors sometimes occur. The list is researched by Jennifer Daniel Szymanski,
jenszymanski@ameritech.net.
