From Wikipedia: San Diego's top four industries are manufacturing, defense, tourism, and agriculture.[5] San Diego's economy is largely composed of agriculture, biotechnology/biosciences, computer sciences, electronics manufacturing, defense-related manufacturing, financial and business services, ship repair, ship construction, software development, telecommunications, wireless research, and tourism. The presence of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) with the affiliated UCSD Medical Center promotes research in biotechnology
Newark's industrial/port job market runs a lot of the cities economy, it was a prominent early American industrial center. The cities history controlled a lot of the growing Northeast American financial growth. (Something Newark is hardly ever credited for )
Transportation has become a growing business in Newark.
The service industry is also growing rapidly, replacing those in the manufacturing industry, which was once Newark's primary economy.
Newark's business district has a strong job market- Especially with Prudential Financial, Rutgers University and St. Michaels Medical Center.
I may live in Orlando but my part of town has nothing to do with tourism. The tourist attractions are a good 20-30 mins away. My area is known for it's high tech, simulation, research and engineering jobs. The 7th largest research park in the US is here along with Lockeed Martin, Siemens, Westinghouse, etc..
Tyler/East Texas is known for medical, rose growing, oil, & some industrial.
Trane-American Standard air conditioners & Tyler Pipe, which is providing all of the steel pipe for the new WTC in NYC is located here. We also have a large Israeli owned oil refinery in Tyler.
Lubbock's main industries are higher education/research, healthcare, and agriculture. It's also the retail/professional hub for a large portion of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico, as well as a developing wind power hub.
In layman's terms, it's a college town in a cotton patch.
