UPMC is PA's largest private employer...

this map is depressing on many levels.. regarding wal marts, walking into a wal mart immediately depresses me.. it's not even the customers so much as it's the damn building, layout, ambience itself. They all have a funny smell and the lighting is like fluorescent or something. I really do get tired and sad just walking into one of those places..

I could be wrong, I'm not up in the latest lighting trends, but dont fluorescent lights make up the vast majority of commercial lighting?

Edit: But yes, I get it. It is a feeling like a dirty place trying to appear sterile. But I get that from most department store-type places.

yeah, target doesn't depress me as much. it gives a sub conscious feel of being more welcoming, higher quality for some reason even though they all sell the same crap at the same prices. one is red, one is blue but something about target interior that makes it a tad less depressing.

And that big patch of blue shows where the best college football is played.
 
And that big patch of blue shows where the best college football is played.
that big patch of blue covers most of the big 12, all of the SEC, most of the acc and most of the big 10 and north and south Dakota. so yeah, you are right, that big patch of blue covers everything but the west coast and the NE..
 
Interesting, but I guess not surprising, that outside of Walmart most of the top employers are state universities.
 
Soon to be overtaken by the cannabis industry.
need a singular entity to do that...I'm thinking "Weedmart"...Might be a great greater job, "Duuuuuude, Welcome to Weedmart, Awwwwwwwesome!"....
 
Not sure that map is entirely accurate. The SUNY system employees are state employees for example: they are part of the state retirement system, covered by public sector labor law, are part of the same union contracts as some other state employees, and so on.

And do the 35,000 employees at the Denver Airport work FOR the airport, or do they work for the various airlines who have hubs there? I'd be surprised if that many people worked FOR the airport directly but I may be wrong.

Still interesting.

I get depressed seeing all the fat, trashy people that inhabit most Walmarts. It's like going to Kennywood.

That’s how I feel when I walk into rivers casino. People take ugly, old to a new level in our north shore casino.

According to the airport's own website, 35,000 people work at the airport. That is a far cry from those people working FOR the airport. I would disregard the entire premise of this map - it is faulty.
