The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000\u2019s aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 jobs over the past three years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe companies on this year\u2019s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,\u201d says <em>Inc. <\/em>editor in chief James Ledbetter. \u201cThere\u2019s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth.
