Rich in history and stature, the state of New Jersey is bordered by the New York on the north and the Atlantic Ocean on the south. Along the 130 miles of Atlantic coastline and the Delaware River, you will find beautiful barrier islands dotted with majestic lighthouses that draw thousands of visitors each year. The white sand beaches allow opportunities for outdoor activities such as surfing, sailing, fishing and boating. The world’s first and longest boardwalk is located in Atlantic City where you can take a stroll, ride in the “Rolling Chair” or visit some of the area’s favorite restaurants or casinos. Jersey City was the first destination for many immigrants throughout the years and still reflects the influence of the international population.

With the state’s proximity to the ocean, most of New Jersey enjoys a moderate climate with cold winters and warm, humid summers. The atmospheric flow patterns produce distinct variations in the weather between the five regions of the state.

The state’s proximity to New York and Philadelphia is advantageous for the growth of service-related industries, construction and trade. Employment opportunities have shown a continued growth in the metropolitan New York area but also in the Atlantic City region due to the construction of gambling casinos and entertainment facilities.
