There is wide variation in the sizes of manufacturing plants, even within the most narrowly defined industry classifications.

In some sectors, such as manufacturing, the differences are substantial. The connection between size and concentration is stronger than what we would expect to find if plants were randomly distributed like darts on a dartboard
