New Hampshire has an estimated 678 middle market firms, which make up 0.78 percent of overall businesses in the state, according to the first-ever Middle Market Power Index from American Express and Dun & Bradstreet.
The unique report uses Dun & Bradstreet’s proprietary databases of commercially-active U.S. firms to analyze the characteristics and economic impact of middle market enterprises—defined as businesses generating between $10 million and $1 billion in revenues.
Nationally, there are more than 136,000 middle market firms that employ an average of 368 workers per company and generate $45.1 million per firm per year. New Hampshire ranks 18th out of all 50 states for the share of firms in the middle market.
This first in a series of Middle Market Power Index reports finds that while the middle market makes up less than 1 percent of U.S. businesses (0.7 percent), they contribute slightly more than one in five dollars or 21 percent of U.S. business revenues and employ over one in four workers (28 percent) in the private sector.
