Manufacturing is the engine that drives our economy. The manufacturing sector is the largest contributor to Pennsylvania’s economy, generating
15.1 percent of Gross State Product and directly adding
nearly $74 billion in value every year.
Nearly 600,000 Pennsylvanians are directly employed in manufacturing. Pennsylvania manufacturers sell almost
$21 billion worth of goods overseas, representing 94 percent of all Pennsylvania exports.
