    1. This map ought to show jobs / population. As it is, California and Texas have a bunch of jobs because they’re bigger states… which isn’t shocking.

      Ever wonder why Ohios riviers catch on fire amongst many other industrial disasters?

      Also mapped here, the proximity of manufacturing jobs to shipping port access.

      I think a better map would show it as a ratio of manufacturing jobs to total jobs, or even, manufacturing jobs to total population.

      It does highlight Wisconsin but otherwise it’s difficult to ascertain.

      Also, including DC on this map is highly specious, and calling it out for “lowest” is just borderline asinine.

      I know this is just for manufacturing jobs.

      But just something to remember. Over 1/10 of the American GDP is produced in California.

      So when Trump wages economic war on blue states like California, by threatening to withhold federal money, he is hurting the entire country.

      Also California brings in more revenue to Washington DC than it receives in federal funds. Hopefully California considers stopping the money it sends to Washington if Mango Mussolini continues to threaten it.

      If I were president, I’d sign an executive order mandating that we teach the importance of **per-capita** maps and statistics starting at the age of 7.

      This is just a map of which states are bigger. A better map is the number of manufacturing jobs by the state population. Or the number of manufacturing jobs by the state area.

      So, basically this map is showing that California and Texas are larger than other states?

      I was surprised to see Georgia having more manufacturing jobs than NY. Didn’t see that one coming..

      11K for Wyoming?? I know Wyoming has a low population. But 11K??? That does not seem right.

      There are over 11,000 manufacturing jobs in the City of Industry California alone. Yes, there’s actually a city called the City of Industry.

      Edit:
      Out of curiosity, I did a Google search on the City of Industry. It has over 3000 businesses that employ 67,000 workers. Nearly all of those are manufacturing jobs. I say nearly all of them are, not all, because they do have strip clubs there. Don’t ask me how I know that.

      Oh yeah, there are a bunch of manufacturing jobs here in Texas… but we’ve also got over 30 million people. Per capita, there are lots of states that have more than we do…

      A separate map showing the type of manufacturing predominant in each state would be interesting. There are six main types of manufacturing processes: repetitive, discrete, job shop, continuous, batch, and 3D printing. Some require a more advanced trained workforce.

    13. What’s funny as a WVian seeing this map is knowing that even though we’re so low, the Toyota factory is like 80% of putnam & surrounding counties economy lol

      Michigan still flexing and we’ve lost as much as any in the last 50 yrs.
