The employers, as the lists state them

Regional snapshot, December 2025; counted table, 2021

The most recent list: The most recent regional list is the Anderson Economic Group's 2025 market snapshot of the South Bend–Mishawaka region (employment data as of December 2025), which names the region's employers "notable for number employed" without publishing counts: 1st Source Bank, AM General, Beacon Health System, the City of South Bend, Federal-Mogul, Honeywell International, Indiana University South Bend, Memorial Hospital of South Bend, Saint Joseph Health, Saint Mary's College, the South Bend Community School Corporation, Southwestern Michigan College, and the University of Notre Dame — a regional list, Michigan-side entries included, printed here as published.

The Mishawaka-seated anchors: Inside that regional frame, the employers seated on Mishawaka's own ground stand in this history's own record, and are named here at list strength: the Franciscan Alliance, whose health system's headquarters stand on the Sisters of St. Francis motherhouse campus — the register of this build's Nonprofits section counts it the largest corporation seated in the city by assets, its systemwide filings the filers' own; Saint Joseph Health System and its Mishawaka Medical Center on Douglas Road; AM General's Mishawaka plant, the Humvee's and the JLTV A2's ground (the Am General section); the School City of Mishawaka and the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation, whose headquarters stand in the city (Schools); Bethel University (Schools); and the City of Mishawaka itself, government and utilities together. No site-level headcount for any of them was verified current for this section, and none is printed: a system's payroll is not a plant's, and this record does not borrow the one for the other.

The counted table, with its age on it: The most recent counted table in the record reached is the South Bend Regional Chamber's economic profile of December 2021, from company-reported figures of 2020, and it prints dated, as it stands: Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation at 3,500; Saint Joseph Health System at 3,000 — a system figure spanning two cities; and AM General at 800. No counted, ranked employer table for the city newer than that one was found in the record reached for this build; the gap is named rather than filled, and the December 2025 list above is the current state of the naming.
