If you assessed the amount of money spent on government lobbying in 2011, it appears the most regulated industries spent the most to protect their interests (Source: Center for Responsive Politics).
- Pharmaceutical $182M
- Insurance $116M
- Oil & Gas $110M
- Electric Utilities $105M
- TV/Movies/Music $92M
- Computers/Internet $92M
- Manufacturing & Distributing $88M
- Securities and Investment $75M
Question is, are they lobbying for change in their industry….or NOT to change?
To what extent do you “lobby” for changes at your organization?
