Fortune 500: Hercules Company Makes 2019 Secondary List
This company is climbing closer to a Top 500 ranking of the top companies in the U.S. Here's a link to openings at the company.
HERCULES, CA —Fortune Magazine has released its annual list of the 500 top companies in America, which represent two-thirds of the U.S. GDP and have a total of $13.7 trillion in revenue, the magazine says. Finishing out of the Top 500, but in the Top 1,000 is Hercules-based Bio-Rad Laboratories. The company climbed 10 places to 906 over last year's ranking. Bio-Rad has more than 8,000 employees, with more than a dozen openings in Hercules right now.
Fortune explains that it ranks companies by total revenue and Walmart topped the 2019 list, followed by Exxon Mobil and Apple. Berkshire Hathaway and Amazon ranked No.4 and No.5, rounding out the top five spots on the list.
To put the list in context, Fortune writes that just a tenth of the companies on the list are responsible for nearly half of the total $13.7 trillion in revenue. (You can read more in detail about the list via Fortune here.)
