Located in the midwestern United States and sharing a border with Canada, Wisconsin’s primary industries are agriculture, manufacturing, and health care. Its largest cities are Milwaukee and Madison.

Wisconsin has a reputation for dairy, and for good reason: the state produces about a fourth of the nation’s cheese and comes second in milk and butter production. Wisconsin also grows corn, cranberries, snap beans, and oats.

The state manufactures a variety of items, including paper, consumer goods, health care devices, and transportation equipment. A few large companies based in Wisconsin include Kohl’s, Oshkosh, Harley Davidson, Johnson Controls, and Johnsonville Foods.

Health care is also a large industry in Wisconsin, with eleven of the state’s top twenty-five employers in health care and related industries as of February 2012.
