I bet the majority of that purple is administrative roles. As in, not providing healthcare but deciding who's going to pay for it

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?
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!!!
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.
I'm surprised it's not Prisons
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.
Uh... Why are people going to Wyoming that would enable its hospitality industry to be the largest in the state?
Yellowstone National Park
"Hospitality/ Nevada"
I see we're still playing along with that euphemism. Haha.
Virginia is the last white collar state?
How many Luigi can we have.
