Foreign Ownership of US Domestic Industries

Through the purchase of important and strategic American corporations, and from insourced intrusion into the American domestic markets, foreign-based companies have built up a huge influence over entire industries. According to data collected from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), certain industries have become completely monopolized by interests overseas.

This data comes from the IRS and is current as of 2002 (latest data available).

Foreign ownership refers to ownership of assets of a particular industry by foreign controlled domestic U.S. Corporations (FDC) 50% or more owned by a foreign entity.
