Our Focus
We are the nation’s central bank, committed to a sound financial system and a strong, healthy economy. We foster the stability, integrity, and efficiency of our nation’s monetary, financial, and payments systems. We create conditions that generate jobs, promote price stability, and promote inclusive economic growth, and fair and impartial credit access.
Our Principles
At the Philadelphia Fed, we are committed to diversity and inclusion in terms of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, religious and political beliefs, and other attributes that differentiate individuals. We promote these standards among our workforce, our suppliers, and in the Third District.
The Third District
- Home to over 13.3 million people in Delaware, southern New Jersey, and eastern and central Pennsylvania. That's 4.6% of the country's population in just 1% of the country's land.
- The three states combined have nearly the same employment shares as overall U.S. in the trade, transportation, and utilities sectors and the professional and business services sectors.
- The District has slightly higher employment in the education and health services sectors than that of the nation.
