Pennsylvania’s manufacturers contribute an estimated $71 billion to the economy and directly employ more than 564,000 people. In addition, the manufacturing sector contributes nearly $790 million in tax revenue in the form of sales tax, corporate net income tax, and capital stock and franchise tax as well as $900 million in personal income tax revenue to the state, while also supporting more than 1.6 million additional jobs. The Business Magazine is proud to showcase the importance of Pennsylvania manufacturing and the products made right here in the Keystone State in our fourth annual Manufacturer Showcase.
