Workforce

Sullivan County’s ever-growing pool of skilled workers has attracted a variety of businesses, including Kohl’s Northeast Regional Distribution Center and Crystal Run Healthcare. Others, like the Center for Discovery, have been able to expand their operations significantly. In fact, the Center for Discovery, our largest employer, now provides quality jobs to over 1,600 labor shed area workers.

More than 400,000 highly skilled workers live within a 30-mile commute, and the cost of labor in Sullivan County is the most competitive in the region.

The availability of qualified workers is the number one business concern…and Sullivan County delivers. Our magnificent scenery, small-town life, and easy access to top colleges and major metropolitan centers are attracting a growing number of highly skilled workers.

Nearly 100,000 workers in the Sullivan County labor shed are ready for business, according to PF Resources, an independent consulting firm based in Texas.  And according to PF Resources, they have the skills, education, and experience to qualify for those better jobs. In addition, almost 30% of our underemployed workers have college experience, with 23% earning four-year college degrees or better.
