How much of a "company town" is your city -- and is that good or bad?

NYC, Chicago, and Boston all lean on financial services. Those are all cities with diverse economies, but agnostic cities don't seem to have industries with more influence than others. For instance, the largest private employers in Atlanta are Home Depot, Delta, UPS, and Coca Cola. in NYC, the largest are Verizon, JP Morgan, Citi, and MetLife; a clear slant to financial services.
