The 2007 IW U.S. 500 -- Mapping Manufacturing

May 10, 2007
Seeing where the bulk of high-revenue-generating companies reside can be a telling tale.

A quick glance at the map below says a lot about manufacturing in the United States.

Plotting out where the IW U.S. 500 companies call home shows heavy concentration in California (56 companies call the Golden State home) and Texas (52 manufacturers have headquarters in the Lone Star State) -- both hot spots of manufacturing.

Once again, petroleum & coal products is the highest revenue generating industry on the IW 500 list with $1.2 trillion. Computers & other electronic products is the second-highest revenue generating industry with $544 billion.
