Houston Tops in U.S. Manufacturing Employment

摘要

Houston may be the fourth-most populous city in the United States, but it ranks first when it comes to the number of manufacturing jobs within its city limits. That's the word from Manufacturers News Inc., a compiler and publisher of industrial directories, which generated the list as of year-end 2010. The Texas city takes the top spot with 228,226 manufacturing jobs, nearly 90,000 more than the second-place finisher, New York, with 139,127 jobs. The data reflect only jobs within city limits and does not include either suburbs or exurbs.
