ANNAPOLIS, MD – Yesterday, Governor Wes Moore announced 150 new manufacturing jobs coming to the State of Maryland at Tradepoint Atlantic as well as a new Microsoft Quantum Research Center at the University of Maryland Discovery Center.
“Since Governor Moore took Office Maryland has added 100,000 jobs, more jobs in two and a half years than the last administration created in eight,” said Senior Communications Adviser Carter Elliott, IV. “This is a governor who is committed to growing Maryland’s economy by creating jobs and investing in industries of the future.”
Job announcements like this highlight why Maryland continues to have among the lowest unemployment rates and one of the fastest job growth rates in the nation. Much of the growth seen in Maryland in the past two and a half years has been driven by the private sector. The Moore-Miller administration has created over 35,000 new places of business and is generating about 45% more new establishments each month than in 2019, right before the pandemic.
Earlier this year Governor Moore launched a public-private partnership called the Capital of Quantum initiative to catalyze more than $1 billion in investments in Maryland’s quantum industry. Since then, Maryland has brought a dozen quantum startups to the state thanks to the governor’s commitment to investing in industries of the future.
This week, Governor Moore also announced plans to “supercharge” affordable housing in Maryland and visited Frederick for a new elementary school ground breaking. The governor continues to work around the clock to grow the state’s economy by creating jobs, investing in industries of the future, and spurring economic mobility for middle class families across the state.
