In 2009, former Governor Ed Rendell had thought about legalizing video poker machines in bars and private clubs because an estimated 17,000 operated illegally across the state. 
 I'm unable to locate that information unfortunately, but I can tell you that the largest private employer in the Commonwealth is Wal-Mart, as is the case with the US as a whole and in most states. The second largest is the University of Pennsylvania. 
 Sounds like an interesting plan. Do you have more economic stats like that to share? 
 I'd like to learn about Pennsylvania and wondering what you can teach me. 
 Thanks for the info!
