The Orange County
area labor shed
includes Orange,
Dutchess, Rockland,
Sullivan, and Ulster
counties in New
York State and Pike
and Wayne counties
in Pennsylvania.
Our labor shed has
a household population
of approximately
1,309,300. The civilian
labor force numbers
approximately 637,400,
and the labor shed
contains approximately
28,200 unemployed
people who are actively
seeking work.
Orange County’s
expansive labor
market consists
of approximately
38,400 underemployed
workers, those individuals
who are currently
working but would
take a better job
if offered by a
new or existing
employer and who
appear to possess
the skills, education,
and experience to
qualify them to
do so. Of these
38,400 underemployed
workers, approximately
7,700 of them are
currently working
part-time and desire
to change jobs and
go to work full-time.
Furthermore, our
assessment suggests
that an additional
20,800 people who
are not currently
employed or actively
seeking work would
consider re-entering
the workforce. In
total, the Orange
County area has
approximately 87,400
available workers
for new or existing
employers. |
