I love how they actually make a list of the 1000 top public companies by revenue, even though the list is called the Fortune 500.
Anyhow, I don't have time to do a MSA or CSA list right now, but here is the F1000s by state and city proper, if you find I have made errors please let me know.

Not to beat a dead horse and I have no skin in the game for LA, but one would get the impression San Diego offers more corporate career opportunities than LA by just looking at how the cities are measured. I worked for 3 F500 companies my entire career and lived in both metros and know firsthand that LA (County and metro) offers considerably more corporate career path opportunities and in more fields; it’s not as though El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica, etc—not part of LA city—are states or hours away.
If Brooklyn, the largest borough and included as part of NYC, was viewed alone it would have 1 F1000 company for its 2.8M population per the drop down menu (vs 69 for the “city”). Does that make Brooklyn a horrible employment area?…no—NYC is just measured differently than the City of LA.
Maybe metro is a better way of judging than “city”.

Nice to see little Ole St. Louis maintaining a top 10 ranking. Such an under rated city.
Definitely. St Louis history and legacy is still way up there for business and corporate destination/city.
Its decades of being such a major US city from the early 1900s up until the 70s/80s, is still very much visible in its business impact as a city today.
I'd like to see St Louis have a bit of a boom again.

It could definitely happen but there would have to be a regional growth plan with a city county merger. I am not sure that's going to happen in the next 10 years.
Corporate Headquarters is a pretty useless metric. For example, Boeing was in Chicago and is now in Arlington VA. Raytheon is moving from metro Boston to DC.
I was thinking the same of Atlanta, especially population-wise!
Atlanta does have many corporations, but some are actually located outside the city limits despite their addresses. Key business hubs including the Perimeter Center and Cumberland areas have Atlanta addresses but are technically either unincorporated or in suburban cities (Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, etc.)
St. Louis is another place where many city addresses are actually in the suburbs of St. Louis County.
Where are the rest? Cambridge, Waltham, Springfield? If they all have 3 or less … where are they all?
If the OP has to post every last city with 1 or 2 headquarters the post would be ridiculously long.
Massachusetts isn't the only state that doesn't list all the cities that have headquarters that make the cut. All the states are like that.
The intriguing questions for me is states like Ohio with that many companies and States like Washington with so few. For a while now the image of Ohio has been the rust belt narrative and that of Washington has been that of corporate leader. So I want expecting Ohio to show so well and Washington to show so poorly.
Where are the rest? Cambridge, Waltham, Springfield? If they all have 3 or less … where are they all?
Several that I have worked with. Raytheon (Waltham), UKG (formerly Kronos in Lowell), Charles River Labs (Wilmington) and Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Cambridge).
