Growth in Business
Establishments
The Lansing region has a diverse group of large

establishments were located in the Lansing region
in 2018, representing one of the lowest numbers of
business establishments among the peer regions.
The Lansing region’s number of establishments has
remained stagnant since 2014, while it has in-
creased substantially in several peer regions.
Top Employers in the Lansing Region
The Lansing region’s top employers are the State of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Sparrow Health System.
However, the employment picture is far larger than that. The area’s top private employers represent automotive,
healthcare, insurance, retail and distribution, financial, and manufacturing sectors. Several major national companies
are headquartered in the region, including Auto-Own-
ers Insurance Group, Neogen Corporation, and Dart
Container Group.
The employers shown in these tables are ordered
