So Philly has like 15. Not bad

The Twin Cities have a really unexpectedly high number. Why is that?

[Boston14]

Nice to see Boston up there with 11

I think his point is why put up something from 2008 when he is describing 2009. It seems as saying he is wrong with his information when you post something like that.

Probably a difference in data gathering methodology. He is saying metro while you are saying region, for example. His list may just be Dallas proper for example.

I got the information from the source that releases the rankings:
The Fortune 500 and Breaking Business News - Fortune on CNNMoney.com

BTW, I stated in my very first post, Feel free to add your metro area or make corrections as I may have made a few mistakes. Take the time to read before posting.

Who cares if AT & T moved in 2008? It's 2009 and the list clearly states that Clear Channel is based out of Dallas.

Clear Channel is still based in San Antonio, AT&T moved to Dallas.
