Industry Information
Labor Force
- A ready workforce is in place to serve industry. Lawrenceville offers prospective employers an energetic and highly trainable work force. Equally important is the low absenteeism and resultant high productivity of the predominantly non-union labor force.

- Lawrenceville Small Business Park: is located on the North side of U. S. Route 50, across from the Lawrenceville Industrial Park.
