Vice President of MidAtlantic Construction Services
AECOM

Based in Wilmington, Kay says the city is “under the radar” as a hot spot for millennial workers. In fact, business and civic leaders launched a campaign last month to attract younger workers from Baltimore and beyond to the city’s revitalized waterfront. Recent development along the Christina River’s west bank includes a riverwalk, a wildlife refuge, an environmental and education center, convention center, apartments, condos, hotels, a movie theater and a minor-league baseball stadium.

Kay says AECOM is the construction manager for a $40-million bridge over the river that will “kick-start east side development” when completed in 2020. The Philadelphia 76ers are already building a minor-league basketball arena and community sports complex on the east bank.

“It’s a pretty exciting time,” Kay says.

根据联邦统计，特拉华州在2013年至2018年之间以11.2％的增长领先全国工资增长。凯说，该州已经从其两个最大雇主的缩减中反弹了：杜邦公司和阿斯利康。杜邦（Dupont）后来与陶氏化学公司（Dow Chemical Co.）合并，近年来解雇了1,700名工人；阿斯利康关闭了研发设施，并裁员了2500个工作岗位。
