Employment

The economy of Indianapolis is centered on the City of Indianapolis and Marion County within the context of the larger Indianapolis metropolitan area. The Indianapolis–Carmel–Anderson, IN MSA, had a gross domestic product (GDP) of $134 billion in 2015. The top five industries were: finance, insurance, real estate, rental, and leasing ($30.7B), manufacturing ($30.1B), professional and business services ($14.3B), educational services, health care, and social assistance ($10.8B), and wholesale trade ($8.1B). Government, if it had been a private industry, would have ranked fifth, generating $10.2 billion.[1]

Downtown Indianapolis, the city's central business district, is the largest employment cluster in Indiana, with nearly 43,000 jobs per square mile (17,000/km2).[2]

Compared to Indiana as a whole, the Indianapolis metropolitan area has a lower proportion of manufacturing jobs and a higher concentration of jobs in wholesale trade; administrative, support, and waste management; professional, scientific, and technical services; and transportation and warehousing.[3] The city's major exports include pharmaceuticals, motor vehicle parts, medical equipment and supplies, engine and power equipment, and aircraft products and parts.[4] According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the region's unemployment rate was 2.8 percent in May 2019.[5]

In 2021, the Indianapolis metropolitan area was home to three Fortune 500 companies and six Fortune 1000 companies.[6] The largest public companies based in the area were insurance company Elevance Health, pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, agrochemical company Corteva, real estate investment trust Simon Property Group, pharmaceutical (animal health) company Elanco, financial services company CNO Financial Group, specialty chemicals company Calumet, Inc., automotive components manufacturer Allison Transmission, and automotive remarketing company OpenLane.[7] Private companies based in the area include financial services company OneAmerica Financial, agricultural cooperative CountryMark, and regional airline Republic Airways Holdings.[8]

History

[edit]

Notable bids

[edit]

In 1991, United Airlines selected Indianapolis International Airport for a $1 billion (equivalent to $2.11 billion in 2023) maintenance operations center after a competitive bidding process involving more than 90 cities.[9] State and local officials agreed to subsidize United's costs by providing nearly $300 million (equivalent to $632.76 million in 2023) in tax credits and other incentives in exchange for thousands of high-wage jobs by 2004.[10] Following United's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2002, the 1.7 million square foot (160,000 m2) Indianapolis Maintenance Center closed in 2003.[11] According to the Indianapolis Business Journal, "records are hard to come by, but during United's glory days, it is believed to have employed as many as 3,000 people at IMC [Indianapolis Maintenance Center]"—short of the 6,300 jobs United committed to in 1991.[12]

Indianapolis submitted a bid to lure Amazon's HQ2 in 2017.[13] In 2018, the company shortlisted Indianapolis as one of 20 finalists from a pool of 238 bids.[14]

Dominant industries

[edit]

Transportation and logistics

Indianapolis's central location relative to other major North American markets, plus its extensive air, rail, and highway infrastructure, have positioned the region as an important center for the transportation and logistics industry. In 2022, the Indianapolis metropolitan area was home to some 5,280 logistics companies that employed about 126,000.[15] Park 100 in Pike Township on the city's northwest side is the largest industrial park in the region, encompassing an area of 1,800 acres (730 hectares) and gross leasable area exceeding 20,000,000 square feet (1,900,000 m2).[16]

FedEx employs 7,000[18] workers across 35 facilities in the city.[19] The city is home to FedEx Express's National Hub which employs 5,800 workers in sorting, distribution, and shipping at Indianapolis International Airport.[19] The airport ranks among the ten busiest U.S. airports in terms of air cargo throughput.[20]

Glendale Town Center, also on the city's north side, opened in 1958 as the region's first suburban shopping mall. The center was designed by famed shopping mall architect Victor Gruen.[77] After years of diminishing revenue and competition from nearby Castleton and The Fashion Mall, Glendale was largely remodeled into an open-air power center in the mid-2000s,[78][79] covering 393,002 square feet (36,511.1 m2) of gross leasable area.

The city's hospitality industry has grown in importance in recent years due to an expanding convention business.[84][85] According to the city's destination marketing organization, Indianapolis receives 29.2 million visitors annually, generating $5.6 billion, and supporting 82,900 jobs.[86] The city's major hospitality facilities are clustered in downtown Indianapolis, including the Indiana Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium, and some 8,500 hotel rooms.

Since its founding in 1979, the Indiana Sports Corp has hosted more than 450 sporting events of national and international significance in Indianapolis.[89] Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS), located in the enclave of Speedway, is the highest-capacity sports venue in the world. IMS hosts numerous motorsports events throughout the year, but is best known as the home of the Indianapolis 500, reputed as the world’s largest single-day sporting event.[90] A 2023 report published by Indiana University found that the speedway supported 8,400 jobs and contributed more than $1 billion to the Indianapolis economy.[91] Based on 2023 attendance figures, the city’s professional sports teams are among the area’s most popular attractions.
