The companies comprising this year’s IW U.S. 500 – IndustryWeek’s annual list of the largest publicly-held U.S. manufacturers based on revenue – boasted revenues exceeding $6 trillion.
But those revenues were not shared equally among all of the states.
States like Texas and California were each home to more than 50 of the companies included on the 2014 IW U.S. 500 list, while a handful of states lacked any of the companies on this year’s list.
