Largest employers

Principal employers by headcount

2 of the top 5 employers on this list (2 of the listed 5) are in manufacturing, accounting for 4,500 employees on this list. So manufacturing 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.
