If financial professionals are looking for prospects with reasonably stable income, they might consider seeking out employees of companies with about $50 million to $100 million in annual revenue.
Companies at that revenue level may have increased their revenue by 0.7% in the second quarter, as revenue at all businesses with $10 million to $1 billion in annual revenue fell 3.7%, and as revenue at S&P 500 companies fell 14%.
Analysts with the National Center for the Middle Market, an Ohio State research center backed by Chubb, have included a little data on the strength of the “core of the middle market” in a summary of results from a survey of about 1,000 top executives at middle market businesses.

Analysts prepared the summary to show how COVID-19 has affected middle market businesses.
The analysts say their survey reflects the overall performance of all of the 200,000 U.S. businesses with $10 million to $1 billion in annual revenue.
Revenue for all of the middle market businesses that the survey team tracks fell 3.7% in the second quarter. That compares with 8.5% revenue growth in the second quarter of 2019, before COVID-19 had surfaced.
