<p>I wonder which private companies have a larger impact?</p>
<p>UW-Madison?s</a> economic impact statewide hits $12.4 billion (March 30, 2011)</p>
<p>I think UW should expand this study to the economic impact it had on the overall US economy. It produced the most CEO’s at the Fortune 500 level of companies. My former boss, a self-made billionaire was a Badger (Chem Engineering). He is now robbing shoulders with folks like Henry Kissinger.</p>
