AbstractThis map shows the difference
between the actual employment in financial services and the expected
level, based on the city's population and income. The financial
services have become an important part of present-day consumption,
providing a variety of banking, insurance and investment services.
Some activities act like convenience retail (banks and credit unions)
and others are more like retail shopping activity (stockbrokers
and insurance companies). Still others are oriented to businesses,
or deal with each other in concentrated financial districts in large
cities. In general, smaller cities are more likely to have either
high or low levels of specialization, since large cities tend to
provide the full range of financial activities.
