Hello! Can you please tell me a little bit about Pennsylvania's economy? 
 Yes, I have several facts I can share with you about the economy. Pennsylvania is home to 50 of the Fortune 500 companies. It's also home to the first nationally chartered bank, which established under the 1863 National Banking Act. The largest private employer in Pennsylvania is Walmart, followed by the University of PA. 
 Wow so cool! Do you know what are some of the examples of those 50 companies? 
 Eight of the 50 companies reside in Pittsburgh and include U.S. Steel, PPG Industries & H.J. Heinz. Philadelphia is home to 6 of the 50 with more located in the suburb of King of Prussia. Philly is a leader in the financial & insurance industry. 
 Wow that is such an abundance of information! What else can you tell me about their economy? 
 The first nationally chartered bank in the U.S., the Bank of North America, was founded in 1781 in Philadelphia. The bank exists to this day under the name PNC Financial Services but today is headquartered in Pittsburgh. 
 Wow I didn't know that! What can you tell me about their climate? 
 The state is generally hot & humid in the summers. The western areas of the state, near Lake Erie, can receive over 100" of snow annually, and the entire receives a plentiful amount of rain throughout the year. The largest city in the state, Philadelphia, has some characteristics similar to Delaware & Maryland, which are considered to have humid subtropical climates. 
 Wow that's great to know! Do you know how cold it gets in winter? 
 Unfortunately, I don't have any information on how cold it gets in the winter, but with I can tell you that the 140-mile water front Pennsylvania has along Lake Erie is what contributes heavily to the 100" of annual snow. 
 That's OK! You've been really helpful! Have a great day! 
 You as well.
