The Lehigh Valley’s gross domestic product (GDP) has risen to record levels for 2019, reaching a record-high of $43.3 billion, with impressive growth in manufacturing, which is now the region’s second largest economic sector behind finance, insurance, and real estate.
The Lehigh Valley GDP of $43.3 billion is higher than that of the entire states of Alaska, Wyoming and Vermont, and if it were it’s own country it would be the 91st largest economy in the world.
