Isn't Boeing in Washington?

Also, not too many people aspire to be in insurance. I don't think you can put it on the same level as finance, arts, software, fashion, film, etc.

Boeing planes are assembled in Seattle; their HQ is in Chicago.

Do people aspire to work in health, energy or finance, or even software aside from the money? If so, what difference does it make?

They left Washington a while ago; I think over taxes?

No they did not leave Washington, that's ridiculous. Their executive HQ is in Chicago but that doesn't mean much. Many executive HQ are in Chicago but that's not many jobs.

Sorry, I meant the HQ left Washington. Doesn't it impact taxes if you're registered as a foreign corporation vs local?
