Wisconsin Companies First Quarter 2020 Total Pretax Earnings Declined Sharply By 49% From the First Quarter 2019. These Very Weak Earnings Are Not a Good Signal For Continuing Solid Real Fair-Pay Job Growth in Wisconsin.

From a review of Company SEC filings and the Google Finance website, I found 29 Wisconsin Companies with stock market caps above $1 bil recently.  

The table below shows the US GAAP Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the first quarter of both 2020 and 2019 for each of these 29 fine Wisconsin Companies.
