Map Shows Largest Employer by State

Broadview Networks has designed a map to show the largest employers by state, and your school may have made the cut.

To create the map, Broadview Networks, an information technology and cloud services provider, gathered data from CareerOneStop, a job database sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor. Not including government or military employers, the Massachussets organization with the most number of employees is Massachusetts General Hospital. According to the data, the hospital supplies 14,000 jobs.

In many states, major universities (such as the University of Michigan and Texas A&M University) employ the most residents. Surprisingly, only two of the top 10 largest employers in America, IBM and Walmart, were big enough to earn a spot on the map.
