Hiring in Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Lancaster is one of the oldest inland towns in the United States and the second-largest in the South Central Pennsylvania area. The city is known for its thriving art community which was set into motion by the opening of the Gallery Row in 2005. It is also home to several flourishing industries. 

Let us take a closer look at the state of employment in the city and give potential employers an understanding of the available talent pool.
