If you’re a Maryland worker or resident, a new report says life sciences is the industry in which to be (if you didn’t already know).

Within life sciences, the report studied the subsectors of agricultural feedstock and industrial biosciences, bioscience-related distribution, drugs and pharmaceuticals, medical devices and equipment and research, testing and medical laboratories. Twenty state associations, including the Maryland Tech Council (MTC), commissioned the report.
Over that time frame, the two entities took a look at unique job postings in the industry across the state and found that Maryland companies posted 65,473 job openings. In 2022 alone, 20,723 life sciences jobs were added in Maryland — a 39% increase from 2019 and 12% in just that year.
