3 Maryland Works GROWING ECONOMY Maryland is ranked #5 in the 2014 States New Economy Index, which measures 25 indicators of a state s economy as knowledge-based, globalized, entrepreneurial, technology-driven and innovation-based. EDUCATED, HIGHLY SKILLED, AVAILABLE WORKFORCE Maryland's highly-skilled civilian labor force includes more than three million workers. 57 accredited two- and four-year colleges and universities currently serve more than 357,000 students in Maryland, ensuring that the state's labor pipeline remains full. The second highest concentration of professional and technical workers among the states, and the highest proportion of doctoral scientists and engineers in the nation can be found in Maryland. CONVENIENT AND STRATEGIC LOCATION As a result of its proximity to the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, the nation s capital and the major distribution routes along the East Coast, Maryland s transportation infrastructure is a key to the region s economic vitality and quality of life. Additionally, Maryland s proximity to federal government operations allows for lower-cost government interaction and early access to commercialized government technology. QUALITY OF LIFE In Maryland, you'll find a thriving art and music scene, dozens of museums and theaters and sports entertainment during all seasons. Suburban downtowns and main streets are connected to Maryland s rich quality along with a relatively low cost of living when compared to other northeast corridor metropolitan regions.
