THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Harrisburg.
State government is the largest employer, supporting law firms, lobbyists, consultants and contractors around the Capitol. Cumberland County's warehouses along I-81 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike serve the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic within a day's drive, making logistics a large employer. The Hershey Company and Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center anchor Hershey, Select Medical, Ollie's Bargain Outlet and D&H Distributing are headquartered in the area, and the Army War College in Carlisle and Naval Support Activity Mechanicsburg add federal jobs.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Harrisburg management teams.
Logistics employers compete for warehouse workers and truck drivers in a market crowded with distribution centers, and turnover is a constant cost. Firms that depend on state contracts and grants feel the effect when Pennsylvania's budget is late or programs change. Food and consumer goods manufacturers face cocoa, sugar and packaging cost swings that must be passed through to retailers.
