Manufacturing played a big role in the economy for the state in the earlier years of its development. In the early 1900's Pennsylvania provided 60% of the United States steel, by 1960 Pennsylvania only provided 24%. The Great Depression in the 1930's had the states unemployment rate at 37%.

Manufacturing accounted for one million jobs in the 1990's, making it the second largest employer in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is still one of the main manufacturing centers in the United States despite the decrease of productivity in the 20th century. .
