About the State of Maryland and the Economic Climate of our EB-5 Maryland Regional Center

Our Maryland EB-5 regional center was created to provide an investment vehicle for qualified foreign investors seeking to obtain permanent resident status in the United States through an investment in a USCIS-approved EB-5 regional center with geographic coverage of all 23 counties in the State of Maryland.

Historically, several elected Maryland public officials, including senators and congressional representatives, have endorsed the EB-5 regional center program as a great opportunity for the U.S. economy and for foreign investors who want to immigrate to the United States and invest in a USCIS-approved Maryland EB-5 regional center such as the EB5AN Maryland Regional Center.

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Maryland has a population of approximately 4.6 million people over the age of 16. Of this, there are approximately 3.2 million people in the labor force, with 2.9 million who are employed and 261,000 who are unemployed. These population numbers represent approximately 2.1 million households.

Unemployment statistics for 2015 show average unemployment in Maryland at 5.2%. Monthly unemployment rates were 5.1% for October 2015, 5.0% for November 2015, and 4.6% for December 2015.

Maryland covers an area of 12,407 square miles, with a width of 101 miles and a length of 249 miles. This implies a population density of 610.8 people per square mile, which makes Maryland the fifth-most densely populated state in the United States.

The capital of Maryland is Annapolis, the largest city is Baltimore, and the largest metro area is the Baltimore–Washington metro area. In 2010, Maryland’s gross domestic product (GDP) was $295 billion. This implies a compound annual growth rate from 2000 to 2010 of 4.90% and a per capita GDP of $45,878. Maryland has the 15th-largest economy in the United States by GDP.

Maryland’s economy takes advantage of the close location of the center of the government in Washington, D.C. It focuses on technical and administrative jobs for the defense/aerospace industry and bio-research laboratories and the staffing of satellite government headquarters in the suburban or exurban Baltimore–Washington area.

In addition, several educational and medical research institutions are in Maryland. In fact, the various components of Johns Hopkins University and its medical research facilities are now the largest single employer in the Baltimore area. Altogether, white-collar technical and administrative workers comprise 25% of Maryland’s labor force, attributable in part to Maryland being a part of the Washington metro area, where federal government office employment is relatively high.
