The region features dramatic snow-capped mountain ranges and high desert plateaus within the counties of Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson. Central Oregon has led the state’s population growth over the last two decades; in fact, Deschutes County continues to be one of the fastest growing areas of the country. A lesser known fact is that our region has also topped the state in job growth over the past year and over the past ten years, creating a region that's characterized by dynamic small businesses and entrepreneurial ac- tivity. The region boasts strong clusters in high technology (software, hardware and energy), advanced manufacturing, biosciences, renewable energy, brewing & distilling, value-added food products, and recreation equipment. For most new residents, Central Oregon is a lifestyle choice, offering a friendly environ- ment, year round recreation options, and world class amenities—all with a hassle-free, small town feel. From a ranch in Prineville to an upscale urban condo in Bend, and all the options in between, the region presents a rare diversity of places to live, all with an easy commute to work. For a relocating business, Central Oregon has a reputation for welcoming new companies. The re- gion has some of the lowest operating costs in the Pacific Northwest, without sacrificing workforce talent, quality health care, transportation or telecommunications infrastructure. What sets Central Oregon apart from other lifestyle cities like Aspen/Vail, CO; Sun Valley, ID; Jackson Hole, WY or Lake Tahoe, CA, is that the region is filled with middle-class working people who are not here to escape from the rest of the world, but build and live their dreams here. Dreams of a quality educa- tion for their children. Dreams of launching their own business. Dreams of short commutes and breathtaking landscapes. Dreams of interesting, challenging work without the big-city hassle. TOP EMPLOYERS & INDUSTRIES According to the Oregon Employment Department, over 75% of Oregon firms have nine or fewer employees and the average firm employs 15 people. Recent research released by Dun & Bradstreet and American Express said that 99.1% of businesses in Oregon had less than $10 million in revenues. To an even greater extent than the state, Central Oregon's business environment is typified by innovative, small companies, producing niche-market products and services. Still, a number of large employers operate successfully here, tapping into Central Oregon’s ever-expanding workforce, overall low cost of doing business and business-friendly local governments. Year over year, the region’s Top 50 Private Employers collectively added about 1,154 jobs, and thereby employed over 20,000 Central Oregonians. Large employers include some distinct groups including: Advanced Manufacturing Selected Central Oregon Traded-Sector Industries Bioscience (pharmaceuticals, medical device) Industry Cluster Employment/Establishments Aviation/Aerospace 581 jobs at 33 companies Brewing & Distilling (craft beer, cider, spirits, tea, kombucha) Bioscience 882 jobs at 26 companies Building Products (doors, windows, molding, furniture) Brewing & Distilling 1,011* jobs at 29 companies Building Products 2,729 jobs at 64 companies High Technology (electronics, software, data centers) Specialty Food & Bev. Processing 381 jobs at 62 companies Outdoor Gear & Apparel High Technology 1,400 jobs at 101 companies Value Added Food Products Outdoor Gear & Apparel 578 jobs at 88 companies *includes brewpub operations (non-traded sector) Healthcare is led by St. Charles Medical Center, the largest private employer in the region. St. Charles owns and operates hospitals in Bend, Redmond, Madras, and Prineville. Additionally, Bend Memorial Clinic is the largest of nearly 100 private clinics and practices in the area. Overall, the health care sector employs over 10,000 Central Oregonians. Headquarter operations play a prominent role among top employers and include Keith Manufacturing, Les Schwab Tires, Bank of the Cas- cades, Deschutes Brewery, 10 Barrel Brewing and many others. Administrative/call/data centers including Apple, Consumer Cellular, Facebook, IBEX Global and Navis are also among the largest pri- vate employers in the tri-county area.
