What is your favorite thing about Delaware? “As a native, what I love about Delaware is that you can leave it, and return with relative ease. Given its proximity to all of the Mid-Atlantic’s notable hubs and the Philadelphia Airport, it provides an excellent home base, with friendly and diverse people.”
With 455,500 people working in Delaware, Delaware Labor Secretary Karryl Hubbard is focused on working with stakeholders on how to create more employment and training opportunities for residents.
