Question & Answer

Question: Where can I find rankings of companies?
Answer: Go to Business and Industry. Before performing your search, check both the B&I and the Tablebase boxes, and select Ranking as your Document type.

Go to IndustryWeek's Rankings of Manufacturing Companies

Fortune 500 - published every April in Fortune magazine. Go to Business Source Complete. Run an Advanced search query with "largest U.S. corporations" in the title field and fortune in the publication name field. MIT's print holdings of Fortune begin with 1930 (although 1955 was the first year of the Fortune 500). The past 20 years of Fortune are at Dewey Library. Prior years are stored offsite.
