애플이 뉴욕 시티내 역사적인 건물들을 잘 보존하면서 애플스토어를 운영한 것으로 New York Landmarks Conservancy 라는 랜드마크 빌딩 보존에 힘쓰는 비영리 기구로부터 상을 받을 것이라고. 맨하탄에 있으면 20세기 초반 건물과 공존하는 애플 스토어들을 심심찮게 볼 수 있다.

북촌이나 서촌, 삼청동 이런 곳에 전통건물 내에 매장을 열어 보는 것도 기업입장에서 마케팅에 도움이 되지 않을까. 낙원상가 뒤 익선동 같은곳도 보면 상대적으로 임대료도 싸고, 특색있게 리모델링한 점포들도 많아 젊은이들이 슬슬 많이 찾더만.

1. California: $2.11 trillion, 13% of overall GDP

2. Texas: $1.46 trillion, 9.5% of overall GDP

3. New York: $1.28 trillion, 8.4% of overall GDP

4. Florida: $769 billion, 4.8% of overall GDP.

5. Illinois: $680 billion, 4.3% of overall GDP.

One important factor for GDP appears to be the population for both the state and the metropolitan areas. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Houston are the five most densely populated metropolitan areas in that order. Further, California, Texas and New York have the highest populations by state in that order. There appears to be a relationship between GDP output and the population for a geographical area.

 

The largest metropolitan areas contributed the greatest amount of GDP for the country. According to our analysis, the top 20 metropolitan areas contributed over half of the United State’s GDP. The New York metropolitan area contributed nearly 10% to the GDP by itself. In terms of a breakdown by state, the top 5 states contributed around 40% of the entire country’s GDP. California alone contributed over 13% of the total GDP for the country.
