CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Aug 8, 2012) - The remarkable increase in the number of technology companies popping up in Chicago is hard to ignore.

"It's a privilege to be recognized alongside our friends and neighbors in the Chicago tech industry," said Brandon Cruz, President of GoHealth. "We've been proud to call this city our home for over ten years and are excited to be a part of this growing, close-knit business community."

The Built In Chicago announcement was accompanied by an info-graphic that laid out the following information about just how much the digital community is growing:

• 33,000 people work for digital technology companies in Chicago
• 71 of the top 100 digital companies are located within a one-mile radius of the Merchandise Mart.
