Industry
The New Jersey Colony exports agricultural products and natural resources including cattle, grain, rice, indigo (dye), wheat.
Many flax and hemp farms are established in the Middle Colonies, furthering our textiles industry.
The Middle Colonies are the big food producing region that included corn and wheat and livestock including beef and pork. Other industries we specialize in include the production of iron ore, lumber, textiles, furs and shipbuilding.
Manufactured iron ore products are extremely valuable because of their many uses in items such as plows, tools, kettles, locks, nails and large blocks of iron which are exported to England. These industries are perfect for people looking to expand their businesses.

Economy
Trade is a vital element to our economy, specifically fur trade. Merchants export many colonial goods (including wheat) to Britain and the West Indies (part of the triangular trade route). We have a flourishing economy. It is very easy to find a job since there is always something to be done. Many farmers settled in New Jersey. Men could sell crops such as wheat, maize, beans, and grains. The Delaware River ran on the border of New Jersey, which gave traders the opportunity to trade with people from other colonies. Farmers could also trade valuable crops with Native Americans. In exchange, the colonists would receive spices and furs. Fur trading with Native Americans was a large chunk of New Jersey’s economy. For instance, there are always many craftsmen roaming the streets of New Jersey who specialize in skills such as carpentry, barrel making, and pottery making. If you specialize in physical labor or logistics, such as lumberjacks and shipbuilders, you also have an important role here.
Additionally, there are also many opportunities for teenagers/young adults to earn money. Apprentices were younger men who worked under the watch of an expert in the field. After several years of hard work and learning, an apprentice could become the new expert, or find a new job. This ensures that all families and new generations will stay successful for many years to come. Overall, New Jersey is a very successful economy.

Demographics
People
There is approximately 51373 people in our colony. The population growth has been inclining at a steady rate since 1700, and there's predicted to be further growth. There is a diverse population (Dutch, Swedes, Finns, Scottish) and plenty of indentured servants and slaves. The rapid growth of our colony means a higher level of consumer demand, so your business is sure to prosper!
Religion
New Jersey is very tolerant about religion--yet another reason why you should come to our colony--and different religious groups means a wider range of customers, and this creates more profits for businesses. There are a vast amount of religions that can be practiced: Quakers, Baptists, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Mennonite, Dutch Reformed, German Reformed, and Jews all reside in our colony.
Education
Colonial leaders agree that education is important but at the moment, aren't concerned in providing it. The decision of whether to educate children is left to individual families.
