There are several major employers in the area. The University, of course, is a major one as is healthcare with more than 8,000 local employees, pharmaceuticals, research organizations such as NIOSH and Protea, and there are thousands of Federal jobs in our area at the Department of Agriculture, Federal Bureau of Prisons, NASA in Fairmont, and the FBI and Veterans Administration in Clarksburg. With an unemployment rate that is among the nation's lowest, nearly everyone has a job here.
