A fascinating map - about our individual States and the largest sources of Revenue in them

I'm posting this for dixiegrrrrl - who has some computer issues at the moment - but she wanted us to get to see it nevertheless.

1. Ohio is 'CardinalHealth'?

I've lived here pretty much my entire life and never even heard of 'Cardinal Health'.

Looking over the rest of the map, I'm guessing the company is based out of Ohio, but maybe mostly operates elsewhere?

2. I've never heard of it before, either. n/t

3. I had no idea Regions bank was so big in Ala.

I DO know it was in trouble for awhile back in 2008.

4. I like maps.

Thanks for the thread, Mira.

5. I live in COSTCO! And I ain't moving!

6. By largest employers ...

9. I'm surprised that for IL both maps show corporations headquartered outside of Chicago

ADM is in Decatur. State Farm is in Peoria, which is at the edge of Forgottonia.

7. this map 'by revenue' is a little larger & less fuzzy

But Iowa is still illegible to me.

Thanks for posting, Mira. I collect maps.

8. Iowa's is certainly a poor choice of colors for type and background.

However, as the Transamerica Pyramid building is included as their logo, I think that's them.

Wikipedia says their HQ office is in Cedar Rapids, IA, with another main office in Baltimore, MD

10. Thanks, Kentauros!

14. too many health insurance companies on that map

They are sucking up our paychecks.

[Duppers]

15. Absolutely! Thanks for pointing out this most intetesting fact.

I also noticed that. And insurance companies have increased in size since the ~2011-2012 data collections on this.
I have a info-graphic map proving that but cannot find the link to post it.

12. Oh well, I guess Love's is better than fucking Halliburton.

Glad they moved their asses to Texas years ago.

16. I'm still laughing my ass off at Oklahoma ROFL

I guess it is a good thing a lot of truck drivers are required to use 44

[CBGLuthier]

17. It's the Love's CORPORATE headquarters, not just in state purchases.

18. Understood, but being in Texas that is what we do...poke fun at Oklahoma, after all, it is just "Ok"

LOL

13. How long until CO changes to bud?
