The Fed Govt will spend the equivelent revenues of the 25 largest US companies
And maybe the equivelent of the 200 largest F500 cos in terms of profit; crazy
Think DC should get to count this one too
Companies add to the economy by producing goods or services that add value to the economy. DC is a leach, they get money from the states and spend it. A gov is not an fortune company they are the opposite since they take out of local economies. Gov is a necessary burden not something to count as a company
Exactly what I was just noticing, how mysteriously the "Bay Area" was listed as an MSA, but we all know it includes the entire CSA. While all the other metro areas, I'm assuming are just going off their MSA numbers and not combining, i.e. Washington DC MSA.
Honestly, IMHO, the Bay Area doesn't exist in real life. The Bay Area CSA consists of 6 different metros, of which IMO San Jose is the most economically significant because of Silicon Valley.
Again, not to hijack this thread, I just want to remind you that the "Bay Area" consists of these metros:
San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA MSA (San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, and San Mateo Counties)
San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA MSA (including San Benito County)
Santa Rosa-Petaluma, CA MSA
Vallejo-Fairfield, CA MSA
Santa Cruz-Watsonville, CA MSA
Napa, CA MSA
If we allow areas to start arbitrarily combining metro areas, then we go down the slippery slope of having designations be completely meaningless.
Let's combine
Washington DC MSA
Baltimore MSA
Philadelphia MSA
New York MSA
Hartford MSA
Boston MSA
because they all touch and are also likewise 6 metro areas.
When I adjust the Financial Times 500 ranking of the World's 500 most valuable companies separating San Francisco from San Jose, we see that the Bay Area still holds 2nd and 3rd place as far total value.
And that is very impressive and I am so glad Huge Foodie 215 asked for us to make that distinction.
Thanks for looking out.

Your ingnorance is outstanding. Have you EVER been to the Bay Area before? Also what is up with your obsession with the Bay Area....geesh.

The SF MSA will undoubtedly add Facebook(HQed in Menlo Park) later this month when it files its IPO currently estimated to be worth $90-$100 Billion.
In the meantime, here is a breakdown of companies in the SF and SJ MSA.
San Jose: 8 companies, $1.113 Trillion
1 Apple $559.002 Billion
25 Google $165.414 Billion
33 Intel $140.462 Billion
49 Cisco Systems $113.912 Billion

WOW.
Okay, can we get the original FORTUNE 500 company list with the separate MSAs?
Companies add to the economy by producing goods or services that add value to the economy. DC is a leach, they get money from the states and spend it. A gov is not an fortune company they are the opposite since they take out of local economies. Gov is a necessary burden not something to count as a company
What do you know, another bash the nations capital poster. Let me guess, you don't think congress should have ever made Washington DC either?

I am sure you are aware the current DFW corporations are second only to New York city corporations in revenue. DFW has the headquarters of the largest corporation on the planet. I bring this up out of hesitation.
That is not what I asked so where does that you sure I know stuff is coming from.
Plus Revenue is the shidiest indicator out there.
Revenue is based on Exxon Mobile which is spread all over the world, NOT DALLAS
Using BlackOut's list, I separated the SF and SJ MSAs.
