AL is embarrassing.

We restrict ours to keep Yankees from flooding the state.

Surprised Georgia isn't higher. Not a knock but Atlanta seemed to have a lot.

That’s not shocking at all

Memphis alone is home to International Paper, FedEx, and Autozone. Very underrated city in terms of economic output.

This is sure to keep posters up at night.

Not really sure why Missouri is surprising. They have St Louis.
It's all about big cities here. Texas has the obvious ones, Georgia has Atlanta, Florida has Tampa and Miami, etc.

Where are you getting this information? In 2018, Georgia had 20/21 Fortune 500 companies. I’m curious to know if 4-5 Fortune 500 companies in Georgia folded or moved.

How does Florida not have more...interesting. Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando, Miami all have massive populations

The assassination of JFK led to the development of a lot of F500/1000 HQ's in the Dallas area.
The interstate commerce took a noticeable downturn in the 60's due to the negative association of the Presidents death and it hit the Dallas area exponentially.
Recognizing the trend the city spent millions on development strategies and most importantly offered companies unheard of tax rebates to relocate into the area. The ripple effect from those efforts combined with ongoing support and natural benefits of the state resulted on a very healthy representation of what you see in this report and extends further as you broaden the scope.

There is a specific reason Texas and Florida are two of the top 3.
No state Income Tax...
That is .the reason Dallas for example has Exxon, Frito Lay, Verizon, etc etc etc and most PGA golfers live in Texas or Florida.
They dont pay state income tax on their sizable income.... Reason Toyota move to Dallas Area from California. Cost of living and Tax burden relief.
As a person who moved from Texas after 20 years to Georgia. State income tax sucks.

Mostly to do with population. Mississippi has some good private companies and has Sanderson Farms which could be a Fortune 500 lister. MS is a large manufacturer in the auto and aerospace industries, it's also one of the biggest shipbuilding states for the Navy. There are also lots of smaller companies based here with worldwide presence.
