US Fortune 100 Companies by Revenue 1980


Most of the companies in the Fortune 100 in 1980 were still manufacturing and oil companies. Auto companies were screwing up with muscle cars and forgot to attend to increasing gas mileage and fixing quality problems. But GM had increased its revenue from $24 billion to $66 billion.

Most products were made in the US by US citizen workers and these products were mostly sold in the US to US consumers. These are the jobs we are attempting to bring back to the US.

The Japanese were building better cars and construction equipment and were poised to export these to the US. This was the decade before we gave all of our manufacturing jobs away.

Clothing and Textiles were being off-shored to other countries.


The revenues reported below demonstrate how inflation in the 1970s doubled revenues. GM revenue was $24 billion in 1970 and $66 billion in 1980. The Japanese cars were beginning to arrive in the US.
