The state of Washington is an excellent place to do business. Washington's economy is diversified enough to be tremendously resilient, and the state is home to a large variety of companies offering goods and services that are in demand both locally and around the world. Washington's growth rate in terms of job creation surpassed United States national averages by nearly a factor of three. This has helped keep unemployment low and the economy of the state healthy. This has also attracted many new residents to the state of Washington; incoming people outstripped exiting people by 75,000 in 2007.
The high tech and aerospace industries are the highest profile in Washington; a certain software giant in Redmond comes to mind. The application of new technology has also helped mature industries to thrive, however. Agriculture and natural resource sectors are not what they once were, but they still, with the help of newer technology, generate significant income within the state. The combination of mature industries with high-growth high tech industries are proving a potent economic blend, with many companies expanding their business focus to international markets.
2008's slowing national economy has not prevented the state of Washington's economy from growing at significantly above national rates. It has slowed compared to 2007 but still sees steady growth, especially in the aerospace sector, which is struggling to keep up with orders. Construction is softening due to weak residential demand, but the commercial market should buoy the sector. The service sectors are adding to the economy. Software publishing and professional and business services in particular are doing well. The state of Washington has one of the healthier economies in the United States, making it an excellent place for your company to do business.
