City Market Due Diligence

HI all,

When looking into a new market, does anyone know the best resource to use to find out who the biggest employers in the market are? I've been using city data for diligence but have not been able to find a breakdown of largest employers for the markets I am looking into.

Best,

Chudi

@Chukwudi Motanya

Hi Chudi, a quick Google search for "top 10 employers __ county" will often pull up the list you're looking for. I suggest you also call the chamber of commerce as they will have this on hand and be able to quickly provide it to you.

As @Hadar Orkibi said, be sure to ask them if they know of any companies moving to town. Also ask them if any current employers are downsizing/moving out.

Lastly, Bestplaces.net is another great site to utilize for research/due diligence on a new market.
