Work in Pennsylvania
According to the World Bank, Pennsylvania has the 17th largest economy in the world with $450 billion in gross domestic product. The commonwealth is home to vibrant, mature industries and has cultivated a business climate that helps innovative, entrepreneurial business thrive. Pennsylvania's location, talent, quality of life and nationally recognized business-friendly tax code are just a few factors that contribute to its success.
More than 6 million Pennsylvanians are part of its highly skilled, well-educated workforce – 82 percent have at least a high school degree and 24 percent hold bachelor's degrees or higher. More than 500,000 Pennsylvanians own their own businesses.
The commonwealth has many ways that it helps people start, keep or grow businesses in Pennsylvania. It also helps hard-working Pennsylvanians connect to hot industries, upgrade their skills and—in times of trouble—find help while they work to get their careers back on track.
And, as a major economic engine in the region, Pennsylvania offers a host of opportunities for doing business with state government; full-time employment, vendor opportunities and bidding for contracts are only a few.
