If you don’t keep up you’ll fall behind.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry Center for Workforce Information & Analysis, the health care and social assistance industry boasted the highest number of employees in Butler County at 13,856 in 2021.

This industry also holds the highest employee numbers in the state, according to last year’s statistics, with a little over a million employees.
