HBJ Book of Lists:
A business resource guide
W
elcome to our 2020 Book of Lists publication.
This annual issue has been beefed up again this year with an economic forecast,
which is aimed at helping inform the region's business, civic and nonprofit leaders
as they plan and strategize for 2020.
As you comb through the more than 45 lists in this year's book, you'll also notice fact boxes and news tidbits that
will provide more context to some of our lists. They highlight significant changes that occurred in some of our
rankings and data.
In addition, prominent local, regional and national economists and business executives provide economic forecasts
covering the real estate, health care, manufacturing, banking and education industries.
For a sixth straight year, we also surveyed our business owner and executive readers to get their insights on hiring
and investment trends for the year ahead. The survey results are sprinkled throughout the publication.
We'd like to thank all of our contributors to this year's Book of Lists. Their insights will help shed light on where
the region's economy is headed in 2020 and beyond. We'd also like to give special thanks to our photographer, Steve
Laschever, whose New Britain "Beehive Bridge" photo served as
this year's cover image.
Our hope is that you will use this book as a reference guide
and that the industry listings, contacts and economic insights
contained in these pages will assist you in your daily business
decisions.
