Yes, 2020 was a tough year for many businesses on our annual list ranking Chicago’s Largest Privately Held Companies.
But when you look at all 366 companies on the print version of the list, the picture doesn’t look so bad.
Combined revenue for the entire list actually grew by 4.1 percent in 2020. Granted, local employment at those companies fell by 1.1 percent, and worldwide employment dropped 2.3 percent. (Those figures exclude a few companies for whom we don’t have two years of consistent data.)
Companies in the top 25 faired particularly well in terms of revenue. Only six saw revenue decreases.
The perennial No. 1 company on the list, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., was roughly flat, reporting a 0.62 percent revenue decline, but the next two companies showed much more volatility: Insurer Health Care Service Corp. posted a 21.8 percent gain, cementing its place in the No. 2 spot, while food and beverage distributor Reyes Holdings saw a 17.6 percent

The magnitude of the problem could be much larger than Hurricane Harvey, which was confined mostly to the Gulf Coast. Other states are also in need of contractors, and the industry has been facing a shortage of construction workers because of Covid-19 health and supply issues, Sizemore said.
