Toronto's economy has changed over the past 20 years, with financial and business services becoming the largest sector. Included in this sector are banks, stock markets, insurance, advertising, marketing, accounting firms, and law firms. Toronto ranks third on the continent, behind New York City and Chicago, Illinois, in the number of major corporations that have their head offices there.
Toronto is the leading printing and publishing center of English-speaking Canada and also has more software production companies than other parts of Canada. One of the community colleges, Sheridan College in Mississauga, trains many of North America's animation artists. In distribution services, Toronto is the chief Canadian center for telecommunications, broadcasting, and air transport. Government and other public services, notably health and education, are major employers.
