????金融信息公司Sageworks周三發布報告顯示，美國私營部門中15個最賺錢的行業以醫療保健和房地產為主。

????它們在榜單上占據了幾乎一半的位置，由此也反映出這些領域正快速增長。“全民醫保計劃”使得享有醫保的病人激增，而住宅和寫字樓市場也已經從衰退中反彈回來。

????Sageworks以截止到今年6月的過去12個月內公司的利潤率為基礎，制出了這份榜單。他們在統計中排除了稅務因素，計入了企業主在市場水平的工資之外的經營收入。

????在這份榜單中，服務行業也占據了不少席位，如會計和法律服務。根據Sageworks分析師詹娜?韋弗的說法，這很大程度上是由于市場對這類服務的需求很大，而它們的運營成本相對較低。韋弗在聲明中表示：“這類公司提供從記賬到法律咨詢到衛生保健的各種服務，卻不需要購入太多固定資產。”

????（說明：去年上榜行業的利潤率在今年上榜時已經進行了修訂。）

????Health care and real estate dominate a list of the country’s 15 most profitable privately-held businesses, according to a report released Wednesday by Sageworks, a financial information company.

????That heavy representation – nearly half the list – reflects the growth in those areas. Universal healthcare has spawned an influx of insured patients while the housing and office markets have rebounded from its recession-era doldrums.

????Sagework’s rankings are based on the company profit margins over the 12 months ending in June. The calculations exclude taxes and include owner compensation in excess of their market-rate salaries.

????Also featured heavily on the list are various service-based industry sectors like accounting and legal services, largely because of their consistent demand for their services combined with relatively low operating costs, according to Sageworks analyst Jenna Weaver. “These kinds of businesses sell services from bookkeeping to legal advice to health care and do not need to purchase as many, if any, physical goods,” Weaver said in a statement.

????(Note: Profit margins of companies that made last year’s list have been revised since their initial release).

????第1：會計、報稅、記賬以及工資服務

????這一行業在榜單上排名第一，純利潤率達到19.8%，比去年的16.3%還要高。與上榜的其他服務型行業類似，會計等行業是能夠持續盈利的生意，因為它們的需求量很大，而日常開支和設備成本卻相當低。

????1. Accounting, tax preparation, book keeping and payroll services

????This industry sector tops the list with a net profit margin of 19.8%, an improvement over the revised 16.3% from last year. Like several other service-based industries on this list, accounting et al. make for consistently profitable businesses because they are generally in demand and can operate with fairly low overhead and equipment costs.
