New Jersey's total state product in 2004 was $416 billion. As can be expected in a wealthy state like New Jersey, the cost of living, including housing costs, is well above the national average.
Biotechnology and telecommunications are among New Jersey's major industries. The area surrounding Princeton is known as a technology center. New Jersey is also home to:
- Newark Liberty International Airport, the seventh busiest airport in the country
- Headquarters of many Fortune 500 companies
- Atlantic City, famous for its thriving hotel and gaming industries
- Transportation lines serving New York City
- Beaches and vacation spots supporting a lively tourism industry
New Jersey grew as a suburb for commuters to New York City and Philadelphia, and is still home to many professionals working in finance, banking, and law in these cities.
