This One Map Shows The Largest Employer In Every State

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

RE: University of Florida is a larger employer than Disney?

The problem is they’re DIVIDING Disney into several groups when in fact they’re all one company.

According to this site:

http://www.careerinfonet.org/oview6.asp?soccode=&id=11&nodeid=12&stfips=12&from=State

University of Florida employs 35,000 people

Disney on the other hand, is divided into:

Disney Quest 9,000 employees
Disney Animal Kingdom Resort 9,000
Disney Hollywood Studios 9,000
Epcot 9,000
Magic Kingdom 9,000

Add all those together and you have 45,000 employees under Disney. MORE than the University of Florida system.

But then, you have the University of South Florida which has 13,800 employees and University of Central Florida, which has 10,500 employees.

Now if you include those Universities and say they are under the STATE University system, then yes, the State Government’s EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM is still larger than Disney.

Darn straight this map is innaccurate. For example New Jersey’s largest employer is listed as Gabriel Taxi & Limo Service......total BS. This company only services a small part of New Jersey and there is no way on earth it employs 25,000 people.

New Jersey is headquarters to many large pharmaceutical (e.g. Johnson & Johnson) and insurance (e.g. Prudential) companies. There is no way a local taxi company employs more people than them.

If you Google new Jersey Largest Employers, Wakefern Foods (36,000 employees) and Rutgers University (28,700 employees) are the two at the top of the list. Gabriel Taxi is not on it anywhere.

This map is a joke.

That’s what bipartisan socialism looks like. You’re seeing a consequence of anti-competition, NIMBY/”real” estate regulations against building and producing.

U.S. Department of Labor = all I need to hear.

Obviously total propaganda / BS.

[Straight Vermonter]

I know that the State of Vermont has more than double the employees that IBM has in the state.

[Straight Vermonter]

Wow. Out of all fifty states, the only companies that do ANY manufacturing are Sikorsky (CT) and Microsoft (WA),

IBM in Vermont is a 200mm wafer manufacturing site.

This is the SOURCE

Johnson and Johnson is strangely, not on the list. Did they move?

[Dr. Sivana]

I missed them. That’s even more ironic than CT.

[Gene Eric]

Thanks. That makes sense.

[Hoffer Rand]

Bogus. Hill AFB and the University of Utah employ more than 20K each.

[burghguy]

This article is bogus. Bartercard does not employ 55,000 in SC. In fact, if you go to their website, they have only 55,000 cardholders in the US. Who did the research for this article?

[3Fingas]

I think this article is completely. In many states, the DOD would be the largest employer.

[3Fingas]

Complete wrong....that is.

[OldMissileer]

I am not sure if this map is correct. The last time I saw a couple of years ago the largest employers in North Dakota were Burlington Northern Railroad and United Health.

[eyedigress]

I don’t see much on this map making sense. Walmart and Banner Health in AZ are both over 30,000.

I could check every state and probably find them all wrong.

Walmart is AZ’s largest employer

[Proud2BeRight]

I meant the states’ governments as a whole not individual functions of the state.

“This list from the Department of Labor sponsored site does not even have the companies you mentioned.”

Well, I’m just glad that the folks running Obamacare aren’t all screwed up like the idiots at DOL. Although the postal service is sure messed up. They keep forgetting to send me my monthly refund for my insurance premiums.

[eyedigress]

They have been for some time. Before the rise of Walmart and the Health systems it was Motorola and Honeywell. (early 1990’s)

This list is ridiculous.
