Largest employers

Principal employers by headcount

2 of the 4 employers listed here are in leisure & hospitality, accounting for 62,500 employees on this list. So leisure & hospitality is the largest sector by employment here, but half of the county's 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.
