New Jersey has the densest concentration of pharmaceutical and life sciences companies in the world, a major financial services sector serving New York City, one of the busiest port complexes on the East Coast at Port Newark-Elizabeth, and significant technology, telecommunications, and healthcare industries. The state's strategic location between NYC and Philadelphia drives economic activity.

New Jersey's high income tax (up to 10.75%) and corporate tax (up to 11.5%) make it one of the most heavily taxed states in America. Combined with some of the highest property taxes nationally, NJ businesses face significant tax obligations. However, the state's dense population, high median income, and proximity to major markets create substantial business opportunities that offset the tax burden.

New Jersey offers incentive programs including the NJ Economic Recovery Act, Emerge and Aspire tax credits, and Urban Enterprise Zones with reduced sales taxes. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies benefit from R&D tax credits, while the state's film and digital media tax credits attract production companies.
