On the Map: West Virginia’s Largest Employers by County

By Amy Arnett

West Virginians have a reputation for being a hard-working population, but where do they work? At West Virginia Executive, we are always interested in learning more about business demographics in the state, and WorkForce West Virginia enables that curiosity by collecting data on our largest employers, including the largest employers per county.

We have put together a map that shows the largest private employer in each of our 55 counties. Our listing excludes state-run organizations like boards of education, which are the largest employers in 29 counties. We hope this map will provide an inside look at what is driving the counties’ business environments here in the Mountain State.
