Employment in North Idaho

Many people ask me about the industry and employment in our area.  Kootenai (koot nee) County has around 140,000 people.  As you can see from the list below employment is pretty divers among the largest employers.  There is no one industry that dominates the list, and this list only represents maybe 10% of all employment in the county.  In fact if you take away governments and government institutions there are very few employers in Kootenai with more than 200 employees.  Most people work at places that employ 100 people or less.
