Largest employers

Principal employers by headcount

2 of the top 5 employers on this list (2 of the listed 6) are in leisure & hospitality, accounting for 1,225 employees on this list. So leisure & hospitality is the largest sector by employment here, but most of the county's five biggest named employers sit outside it. A panelist who works somewhere you recognize is probably not working where most of this county works; ask where they work before assuming either pattern fits them.
