JP Morgan Chase to add 1,200 jobs in Delaware
WILMINGTON — Governor Markell announced on Friday that JP Morgan Chase was going to expand its operations in Delaware, adding 1,200 jobs here over the next 20 months.
"It's exciting news, for sure," Senator Coons said. "The reality is, Delaware has a unique and highly skilled workforce that makes it a natural fit when companies like Chase are looking to grow. Like Citi and Bank of America, Chase is choosing to grow in Delaware because of the talent we have here and because, frankly, as a state, we want their business. We want companies like Chase to grow here — to create jobs here — and have worked hard to nurture an economic climate that makes it possible."
The jobs, which are expected to pay in the ballpark of $76,000 per year, will be across several of Chase's verticals, including Treasury & Securities Services, Investment Banking, Asset and Wealth Management, Card Services, Corporate Technology, and more.
"This is exciting news, and I congratulate Governor Markell and Director Levin on making it happen and bringing these jobs to Delaware," Senator Coons said.
