   You're right. Try these instead:   
   ==========   
   America’s largest majority employee-owned companies employ collectively   
   over 630,000 workers at some of America’s leading companies. These   
   include two of the 20 largest supermarket chains (Publix, 4; Winco, 16),   
   eight of the 25 largest engineering and design firms (HDR, 6; Burns &   
   McDonell, 9; Parsons, 10; Black and & Veatch, 11; Gensler, 15; HNTB, 19;   
   and CDM Smith, 23; and Terracon, 24), the third largest lawn and   
   landscape company (Davey Tree), two of the 15 largest construction   
   companies (PCL, 8; Hensel-Phelps, 12), two of the largest electrical   
   distributors (Graybar, 3; Border States, 10), the largest decorative   
   plywood and veneer manufacturer (Columbia Forest Products), the 20th   
   largest wealth management company (Baird), and the three largest US AID   
   contractors (Chemonics, DAI, and Abt Associates).
