Madison, Wisconsin is one of the Top 25 Best medium-sized Cities in America for success in Jobs and Business,

The County Seat of Dane County and the Capital of Wisconsin, Madison's background dates back to the Revolutionary War and the Northwest Territories.

Dane County was founded in 1836 and named in honor of Nathan Dane, who was from Massachusetts on the East Coast of the US. Mr. Dane was a delegate to the First Continental Congress in the founding of the New Nation post-revolution. Dane guided Wisconsin to become the last US State to be formed from out of the Northwest Territories.

State statistics from Workforce Investment Act-inspired development programs and information from county reports indicate that Healthcare as an industry is and will continue to be a leader in Madison, Wisconsin. This is supported by by the medical needs of America's aging population in the Baby Boom Generation, but also in the Millennial Generation born roughly from 1980 - 2000. The Millennials meet the numbers of the Boomers and as the aging Boomers pass on, the younger generation will create an aging America again until at least 2100 AD or longer.
