NOTE:
Beginning October 2002, all Covered Employment and Wages publications are
based on the new North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
All previous publications were based on the former Standard Industry
Classification (SIC) system. Because of industry code changes between
years, there may be substantial employment and wage shifts among
industries. More Details
Follow the links below for approximate workforce and population data within a 25 and
40-mile radius of communities with available industrial sites and buildings in
Portage County.
