No offense, but what does this list have to do with the top financial centers? Also, you are missing several major metropolitan areas.
These are the top ten metro areas:
1. Houston
2. New York
3. Los Angeles
4. Detroit
5. Seattle
6. Miami
7. Chicago
8. Dallas
9. San Jose
10. Minneapolis Source: U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration
Not a bad list, but it's difficult to gauge financial services activity simply thru GDP. It could certainly be used as a piece of the puzzle, though probably not a major one.

Would generally agree, Philly would have a ton of Credit Card activity, low margin compared to VC financing say in Boston or SF

For sure. Credit cards are certainly financing activities, but I'm not sure that it should fall under the "financial services" category simply because it's not really involved with any sort of investing. Philly is interesting because they wet their beak in a lot of areas financially, whether it be mutual funds, banking and credit cards. It appears to be a very well diversified economy in terms of financial services.
This is awesome information but this is regarding financial services, the FIRE industries. In this regards exports is not necessarily part of the discussion. Also, the BMW plant is nearby Spartanburg. Same general area but different MSA.
Oh, wow, I forgot that Spartanburg isn't part of the Greenville MSA.

It's not my fault, the website I got them from didn't have those cities in the list. And Houston and Los Angeles and Detroit and Miami and Chicago and Dallas are all there. http://www.trade.gov/mas/ian/build/g...ian_004072.pdf
I don't know if this has anything to do with being a financial center or not but it shows the largest MSA exporters.
Interesting map! It's great to see the Miami area ranked # 4 in Exports by billions of dollars. With two major deep water cargo ports in the area & the Port of Miami dredging it's channel to accomadate the super Panamex ships once the deepening of the Panama canal is complete. It is also building a tunnel solely for cargo trucks to bypass city traffic and straight to the highways. One thing I didn't know is that Miami is one of the largest importers/exporters of fresh flowers in the US.

Not to sound snarky (or derail the thread), but how are imported flowers "fresh"?
