Growing Population

Workforce



The Pocono Region is growing faster than any other region in Pennsylvania – and a good deal of the northeast for that matter!

Sterling Business Park is at the nexus of a four-county region (Wayne, Pike, Monroe, and Lackawanna) that grew six times the rate of the Commonwealth from 2000 to 2004. The region represents a population of 472,535, having added 26,529 people in the last four years.

People are choosing to live here. We have a lifestyle that people want, and that will be desirable to employees relocating with their companies. Employers will further benefit by finding an increasing labor supply at an exceptional value.
