Maryland's Growth Industry Tool - Workforce Information & Performance
The Growth Industry Tool, or GIT, allows you to view which industries are growing the most statewide or in your region of Maryland over the past year based on Quarterly Census of Employment & Wages data (QCEW). See how industries in your region rank according to:
- Overall employment;
- The number of establishments;
- The average weekly wage;
- The location quotient;
- The number of jobs added over the past year; and
- The percent growth in employment over the past year.
By default, information for Maryland is below. Find links to the GIT for 12 different regions at the bottom of the page.
