Here are the 50 Largest Employers in Central Oregon

It’s an intuitive, but forgotten, truism: the more employees a company has, the more often that company will be hiring new workers.

Large employers–those companies with 250 or more employees–go through a lot of personnel churn. Workers are constantly leaving, retiring, or being dismissed, so there’s a constant need to hire replacement staff. (And, if the business is expanding, they hire even more!)

The general rule of thumb is that organizations hire about 20 percent of their total workforce each year. An organization with 1000 employees will make 200 replacement and new hires each year; an organization with 10 people will hire 2 new employees.

So… if you want to know who’s hiring the most in Central Oregon, a good place to start is with a list of Central Oregon’s largest employers.

And that’s exactly what we’ve provided below!
