About these names

Agency names transcribed from a supplied fifty-state research table. Not independently verified except where marked. They are set in the darker face where a live first-party feed from that agency confirms them, and lighter everywhere else. State development agencies are renamed and merged on a political cycle, so an unconfirmed name should be checked before it is cited.

Two states publish under a different entity. North Carolina and Missouri each run both a cabinet department and a quasi-public recruitment corporation, and in both it is the corporation — EDPNC, Missouri Partnership — that operates the newsroom.
