West Virginia's economy has been historically defined by coal mining, but the state is actively diversifying into natural gas and petrochemicals, aerospace at the North Central WV Airport innovation zone, tourism at destinations like the New River Gorge National Park, healthcare, and technology. Major employers include WVU Medicine, Toyota's Buffalo plant, and Procter & Gamble's consumer products facility.

West Virginia's recently reduced income tax rates—now topping at 5.12%—reflect the state's effort to become more competitive. The 6.5% corporate rate and moderate sales tax keep the overall tax environment manageable. The state's very low cost of living makes it attractive for remote workers and businesses seeking minimal overhead.

West Virginia offers incentive programs including the Economic Opportunity Tax Credit, the Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit, and various coal-to-gas transition programs. The state's Ascend WV program pays remote workers to relocate, and the new National Park designation at New River Gorge has boosted tourism investment.
