I bet the majority of that purple is administrative roles. As in, not providing healthcare but deciding who’s going to pay for it
no, I’m sure the majority is in poorly paid roles: janitors, food prep, entry level techs
I often wonder exactly how many office towers there are of people trying to deny health claims, and bickering over who pays how much.
And coding the systems that make decisions. And answering calls from members. And cleaning the building.
In fact, I’d go so far as to say that most of those towers aren’t filled with decision makers, but instead mostly laborers with a small amount of those who make the evil decisions. Kind of like everything else.
I work right down the street from the office building of the biggest insurer in our state. The building looks like a damn prison.
Might be a lot people in sales too, and people tasked of getting the best offer on drugs and equipment and so on

I expect total number employed. For example, healthcare would be broken across hundreds of companies, so it’s not as simple as saying “Walmart”. Likewise there are other retailers than Walmart.

That’s the largest singular employer, and which industry that singular employer is in. Vs OP’s total industry employment. These are different things. If there are a ton of small companies, they can easily add up to being larger overall than any singular employer. E.g. the University of Hawaii might be the largest singular employer in Hawaii, but education is not the largest overall industry in Hawaii.
I know it’s easy to only think of large singular companies, but it’s more detailed and better information to add up the entire employed population of everyone in the state and see what industries they work in.
And if the point is to show manufacturing in the US has decreased, isn’t that a “duh” statement?
In my state you get into the high teens before you hit any companies that do manufacturing.
Is this a major consequence of 1994’s NAFTA and the relative ease of moving manufacturing jobs to Mexico, vice the service/healthcare jobs being tied to populations themselves?
Yes. I’m not sure what else has gone on, but NAFTA and the US China Relations Act sweaping all of the manufacturing out of the country could account for the whole change between the two maps.
It’s blowing my mind that Michigan’s largest employer is the University of Michigan, and yet they still voted for Trump.
Top how? Highest per capita salary? Most number of employees? Most revenue? Most profit?
This is probably a dumb question but does “Professional Services” mean?
Sounds like you’ve never had to endure Amateur Services.
Beginner Services was terrible! It’s like they didn’t know what they were doing!!!
Journeyman services are really where its at: experienced enough to get it done, but still humble enough to show some enthusiasm.
Usually it means consulting provided by an outside vendor. So in this case I think they are saying the government hires a lot of services from other companies. Probably to augment their own work.
Examples include consultants, Managed Service Providers, financial services, staffing firms, HVAC companies, and lawyers. So yeah, workforce augmentation and anything you don’t want to keep in house for one reason or another.
White collar contractors.
I’m surprised it’s not Prisons
Inmates are not employees 😉
Uh… Why are people going to Wyoming that would enable its hospitality industry to be the largest in the state?
Yellowstone National Park
Yeah pretty much everyone else in the least-populous state in the US is a wealthy landowner so they’re “self-employed”
It’s a pretty beautiful state.
I think it’s more that there’s fuck else in Wyoming to do.

Virginia is the last white collar state?
Probably including DC and Arlington.
“Hospitality/ Nevada”
I see we’re still playing along with that euphemism. Haha.
Oh. Category, but not actually listing them…
How many Luigi can we have.
Be the Luigi you want to see in the world
