Eh. It was never really going to “stay” in Mississippi. The guys that founded Comcast were all from the Northeast. The cable tv company they bought to enter the market was based in Tupelo. They quickly relocated it to Philly.

Why would Kyocera be in SC? Kyoto Ceramics was shortened to Kyocera in the early 2000's.

Alaska contributes a shite ton of oil. ANC is also a huge port for imports arriving by air.

No Microsoft? The SaaS company Concur was originally started in WA, but was bought out by SAP.
PACCAR should be on the list as well, for WA.

3M started in Two Harbors, Minnesota. A small town on the north shore of the lake they call Gitchi Gummi.
An additional random fact about Two Harbors is that hall of fame basketball coach Lute Olson coached at Two Harbors high school before moving out to California.

Allow me to run an ambulance company here and consumer rates would be cut in half overnight.

why does South Carolina not have Duke's Mayo listed? That's a massive brand now, even if it's not located in SC anymore.
Wait, they are no longer in SC?
Where are they now?
Did some private equity snatch them up?

Microsoft is on the map. You are looking at the wrong state. It was founded in Albuquerque.
