Finance employs more than education in Boston. Fidelity and State Street, Bank of America has a lot of people in Boston too.

poll added. i decided to stick with the industries that are most well-known to that city.
it's probably new york that would be impacted the least.

alternatively, what city woudd turn into a ghost town ?
i think it would be las vegas followed by detroit.

Vegas would be the worst off.

LA metro area has the most diversified economy in the nation.

Yep, it's LA by a New York mile. The port alone brings in more revenue than the film industry.
