An Interesting GDP map that shows half of U.S. output is generated by a few cities

50% of GDP comes from orange areas, 50% from blue.

Look at the map and read it all.

    It is hard to tell, but the map seemed to show that almost none of our GDP came from the greater Washington D.C. area.

    Well….does this really map GDP production or is this a map of the HQs of large US corporations? Granted, law and accounting firms, hospital groups and government workers tend to be in cities. But the factories, mining operations and farms aren’t. This map seems a bit misleading to me.
