BVN Largest Employers MAP

Broadview Networks

The above map, sent to us by Mike Simmons of Broadview Networks, shows the largest employer in every state. 

Broadview Networks used information from CareerOneStop, a database sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor. 

Interestingly, only two companies in the top 10 largest employers in America — IBM and Wal-Mart — appear as a state front-runner. And the map doesn't feature other large companies, like UPS and McDonald's, at all.

Instead, major state universities, like those in Alabama and Colorado, and innovative hospitals, like the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, employ the most residents in numerous states.

In some states, like Alabama, when companies tied for the most employees, Broadview Networks chose to represent only one on the map.

Here's the state-by-state breakdown: 

Alabama – Alabama Power Co.

Location – Birmingham, AL

Number of Employees – 5,000

 

Alaska – Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport

Location – Anchorage, AK

Number of Employees – 9,000

 

Arizona – Sun State Courier & Delivery

Location – Scottsdale, AZ

Number of Employees – 20,000

 

Arkansas – Wal-Mart

Location – Bentonville, AR

Number of Employees – 11,000

FedEx uses a lot of contractors that probably aren’t counted as actual employees.

Not all of them. Vanderbilt here in TN is private.

Yes, it explains why we are the way we are today. Not much private enterprise left in America, today.

South Carolina – Bartercard USA Inc.

Location – Daniel Island, SC

Number of Employees – 55,000

Why have I never heard of this group? Daniel Island does not have 55,000 employees. Is it possible many are employed out of state?

I agree. The article is erroneous.

Maybe they meant jobs actually in that state.

It would seem that ShopRite probably has employees in that number that don’t live or work in NJ.

Confusing data for sure in the article.

From wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_are_the_largest_employers_in_washington_state

As of July 2013, the companies with the largest amount of employees in the US state of Washington are:

1) Boeing 85,000
2) Joint Base Lewis-McChord 56,000
3) Navy Region Northwest 43,000
4) Microsoft Corp. 41,664
5) University of Washington 29,800

From July, 2013 Puget Sound Business Journal:

This latest list of employers is topped by Chicago-based Boeing, with 85,000 employees working at its Commercial Airplanes division and other manufacturing operations in Everett, Renton and elsewhere in the state. That's almost half of the aerospace company's 172,000 total employees.

Unless Micro$haft has grown a lot in less than a year, yeah, this guy needs to do some better research than acinet. Their 2014 listing doesn't even list Boeing until #18, which is 'Boeing Training and Flight Svc', which is really a small division of Boeing based in Renton.

This is why I take these "charts" with a huge bag of salt. They're almost always wrong, made up by ill-informed idiots who don't have even the simplest internet research skills.
