The manufacturing base of Southwestern Pennsylvania is the key to a healthy regional economy. Manufacturing is the second largest private sector employer with 166,000 jobs, and the first in annual wages with a total payroll of over $6 billion . The average manufacturing wage of $40,000 compares very favorably to the $28,000 average of other sectors. In southwestern Pennsylvania, the manufacturing workforce (which is 15% of the total workforce) accounts for $56 billion of a $139 billion economy. This is a clear indication of the impact that the relatively small number of manufacturing jobs has on the regional economy.
