We are leading the country in job growth!

Last week, the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation announced that Maryland added 19,300 jobs in March, outpacing every other state in the nation in both growth as well as the number of new jobs addeda significant feat for a small state like Maryland.

Maryland's growth was trailed by Ohio (18,300 jobs) and New Jersey (17,300 jobs), with Pennsylvania and Illinois rounding out the top five.

Under the leadership of Governor Larry Hogan, our commitment to fostering a better, friendlier business environment is paying off. We are creating jobs. We are putting hard-working people back into good jobs. And we will continue doing this to keep Maryland at #1.

With this great news, I am excited to kick off a new video series called "Success in Maryland."

We talked to you – the business community – about what makes Maryland a great place to do business. These videos feature your responses, from our talented workforce to our unsurpassed quality of life. Check out the first compilation in the above video.

Stay tuned for more Maryland success stories coming soon. In the meantime, share your story with us on social media using the hashtag #SuccessInMaryland.
