Triplett's State Research Project

State Research

1.  BUSINESS

Corporate Offices by State:

Fortune 500 Companies by State

http://www.buyandhold.com/bh/en/research/states/

You are able to select a state from a map and then see the Fortune 500 companies located in that state. But, I have no idea how reputable the site is. It appears to be a site for investment research and it may be very reliable.

2.  EDUCATION

Compare your state to other states or the national average.

3.  FITNESS

Search for how your state ranks with fitness, overall ranking, strengths and challenges as well as obesity.
