The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), one of the most well-known stock market indices, has undergone significant changes in the 21st century, with several notable companies being removed. Once a benchmark dominated by industrial giants, the DJIA has increasingly shifted toward tech and consumer-oriented firms, reflecting a broader transformation in the American economy. Companies such as General Electric (GE), Alcoa, and Eastman Kodak, which once symbolized industrial strength, have been removed from the index, making way for the likes of Apple, Salesforce, and other tech companies.
