About Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is bigger than you think. In fact, if it were its own country, it would have the 22nd-largest economy in the world. Most of its residents are concentrated in the Philadelphia and Greater Pittsburgh metro areas. The cities are home to jobs aplenty—in sectors such as healthcare, higher education, finance and insurance. Despite the popularity and success of Pennsylvania’s cities, however, most of the state is rural, and it actually ranks 19th in overall agricultural production. The agricultural industry has a large impact on Pennsylvania residents, with employment provided in farming, food manufacturing and food product export.
