 Industry Trends, Camden vs. New Jersey
∑ Between 1999 and 2004, Camden County employers created new jobs at more than
twice the rate of statewide job growth (+1.8% vs. +0.6%). The county’s economy ben-
efited from its central location between Philadelphia and rapidly developing Gloucester
and Burlington counties.

∑ Business and professional services employers have been the prime drivers of job growth
in Camden County. Payrolls in this sector have increased by 10.6 percent, ten times
faster than the state’s gain (+0.7%). The county is home to many office parks, typically
filled with companies in this sector, ranging from engineering and data processing ser-
vices to employment agencies.

∑ Over the 1999-2004 period, trade, transportation and utilities employment declined
by 5.1 percent in the county in contrast to the state’s 0.5 percent gain. The loss was
centered in the retail and warehousing components as more stores and distribution
centers have opened in neighboring Burlington and Gloucester counties.

∑ Manufacturing job losses were less in the county (-14.3%) than in the state (-19.8%). A
combination of factors including a good transportation network, relatively modern fac-
tory buildings and access to an ample supply of well-trained workers have made the
county’s plants more competitive.

Note: Use of an index facilitates comparison between two separate data elements.

∑ Camden County’s total private sector employment covered by unemployment insur-

ance increased by 3,028 (1.8%) between 1999 and 2004. The county’s payrolls de-
clined in 2000, rose slightly in 2001 and 2002, then increased more rapidly in 2003
and 2004. In contrast, the state’s employment decline began later and lasted longer.
Jobholding in the state rose in 2000 and 2001, declined in 2002 and 2003, then
resumed its upward trend in 2004 when employment surpassed its 1999 level but
remained 1.7 percent below its 2001 peak.

∑ In 2004, trade, transportation and utilities was the county’s largest industry em-
ployer, accounting for 25.2 percent of all private sector workers. However, in 1999
this industry employed 27.0 percent. The percentage of workers employed in this
industry has declined as stores and distribution centers have moved to Burlington
and Gloucester counties.

∑ In Camden County, the sectors that added the most private sector jobs between
1999 and 2004 were professional and business services (+3,000) and education and
health care (+2,300). The county’s close proximity to Philadelphia has attracted many
businesses to its office parks. The county is also home to Cooper University Medical
Center and Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center, both noted for providing specialty
medical care.

∑ Within each industry sector, new jobs were created, while other positions were elimi-
nated. In 2004, the sector with the most new job openings was trade, transportation
and utilities (+12,000). Many of these openings were in the highly competitive retail
trade component where new stores often draw customers away from older establish-
ments. The adversely affected stores may reduce employment or close as sales vol-
ume drops. In this industry, closings and staff reductions produced a loss of 9,500
jobs, leaving a net gain of 2,500 positions. Fewer new positions were created in the
less volatile education and health services sector (+8,700), but netted a larger job
gain (+4,100) because fewer jobs were lost (-4,600).

Camden County New Jersey

∑ The sector in Camden County with the highest average annual private wage in 2004
was financial activities ($52,626). The statewide average wage for this sector was
much higher ($74,794), mainly because of differences in sector composition. In
Camden, the relatively low-paying credit intermediation and related activities compo-
nent made up a larger proportion of the financial activities payrolls (38.3%) compared
with the state (29.9%) and the relatively high paying securities, commodities, and
investments component employed a smaller percentage of the industry’s workers in
the county (5.0%) than in the state (18.5%).

higher percentage of personal income from transfer payments (15.9 percent vs. 12.4%)
and a smaller share from dividends, interest and rent (12.1% vs. 15.2%). Like the state as
a whole, Camden County is a place of economic contrasts. The county includes the rela-
tively prosperous municipalities of Cherry Hill and Voorhees as well as Camden, one of the
poorest cities in the nation.
