Washington State is far and away the biggest company revenue State, per capita. And while Amazon leads the way, there are many other tech companies that make it #1 by far. While Boeing has been having some issues with the MAX, most agree they will get past that, and the State continues to be one of the fastest growing and tech friendly. Seattle has been thriving for almost a decade, and the spillover to other WA cities is confirmed.

But Boeing has been HQed in Chicago now over 15 years. So you can't include them in Washington State. Also, per capita, I am not sure you are correct on that matter either. As of May 2019, Washington state has 16 Fortune 500 companies



New York state, population around 20 million, has over 90 Fortune 500 companies and Texas has over 90 at 27 million residents. So I question on a per capita basis your claim.

I am including Boeing since it still has its largest employee base in Washington. Boeing is still a company town in western Washington.

And the employment figures are impressive for Washington.

The fact that corporate is in Chicago is somewhat meaningless when you look at total employment. I wouldn't be surprised if Boeing doesn't move their corporate back to Seattle, but I have no inside info on that.

Then I saw that Cardinal Health, which ranked 51st in employees on the same list, was no. 1 in Ohio in revenue and I wasn't familiar with it and assumed it was a hospital system. (Looks like it specializes in selling medical apparel)

So I figured if a health care system was Ohio's top revenue company that there may have been another reason why the Clinic wasn't higher (maybe, due its non profit status).

It's since been cleared up.
Fair enough. Interesting to note that if Cardinal Health only sold apparel they would not come close to $136B, which is a huge, huge number. Its drugs and medical devices, and the fact they have a huge chunk of that market. The stuff we all drain our 401ks so we can live a few extra years. Then of course there's the illegal pushing of opiods into Appalachian regions and other areas. Here's hoping the number comes down a bit after a certain lawsuit gets settled. They should have known better, the regulation and tracking of these medications is required by the FDA. But I don't want to derail this thread.
