Compiling List of Major Employers for Pierce County

Do you have 100 or more full time equivalent (FTE) employees?

The Tacoma-Pierce County Economic Development Board is compiling their annual Major Employers list. Please help by providing your organization’s 2013 FTE number.

Every employer with 100 or more FTEs working in Pierce County will be included. Each FTE number includes all full-time employees plus a proportionate fraction for part-time employees working less than 40 hours/week. They also count contract employees who have been hired for the duration of grant-funded contracts.

If you know of another growing organization that may have 100 FTEs or more, please call it to the EDB’s attention. They will reach out to verify employment.
