The 2011 Republic 100 ranks the state's largest 100 companies by the number of people they employ within the state adjusted to full-time equivalents of 40 hours per week. The list includes public and privately held companies and not-for-profit corporations.
Information was obtained from the companies by self-reported questionnaires, from follow-up telephone calls and e-mails, and industry research. An NL means the company was not listed that year.
