Good News on Exports

The Governor has just announced that exports from New Jersey increased $3.5 billion in the last year.

From NJBiz:

The 12.8 percent increase exceeds the national growth of 12.1 percent, the governor said. Exports alone support more than 366,000 jobs in the state, he added....

The state's greatest trade gains came from increased commerce with countries like Israel, where the amount of New Jersey products received increased 195 percent last year; the Republic of South Africa, where it grew 60 percent; and India, where it rose 51 percent, the Corzine administration said. Italy, Japan and Singapore also saw Garden State exports increase more than 25 percent in 2007.
