Louisville is home to eight companies – public and private – that well surpass the $1 billion mark in revenues, and many others that nearly claim the title. Some of these massive global corporations like Humana, YUM! Brands, Brown-Forman, BrightSpring (formerly Rescare) also call the region home.
Topping the list is health insurance giant Humana Inc., which had 2018 revenues of $56.9 billion. No other corporations even come close, but they are all of great importance in a diverse landscape of companies employing tens of thousands of people across health care, logistics, education, manufacturing and more.
Humana is the region’s fifth largest employer with 12,000 local employees. Ahead of it are UPS (21,233 employees), Jefferson County Public Schools (14,476), Ford Motor Co. (12,600), and Norton Healthcare (12,247).
Headquartering a business in Louisville, no matter the industry, is a solid bet given its strategic location, low cost of business, available workforce and high quality of life.
