GDP was at $388 billion in 2010, putting it in 4th position nationwide, and in 9th position worldwide. Philly is one of the most populous cities in the U.S. (it’s the 5th largest), but it’s also a hub of economic growth in Pennsylvania with affluent suburbs, and is a key gateway route leading to and from New Jersey and Atlantic City–the perfect place for outdoor advertising.

While the financial industry still accounts for the largest sector in the region, other industries include: high-tech, telecom, insurance, bio-tech, biochemical, pharmaceutical, aerospace, automotive, energy, transportation, and oil refining.
