concentration, behind New York and Houston, and these three cities

Ohio, and Michigan, respectively. Previously on 2013 FORTUNE 1000,
metro Atlanta-based Asbury Automotive Group is now a 2014 FORTUNE
500 company ranked No. 472. In 2014, FORTUNE 500 PulteGroup was
added to Atlantas powerful corporate line-up, although not in time
for FORTUNE magazines data collection cut-off, thus it is shown as
coming next year. Georgia-based companies, ARRIS Group and Ocwen
Financial Corporation are new 2014 FORTUNE 1000, further solidifying
Georgias global financial standing. As more firms take note of Georgias

attractive business climate more move to the state.
