The MAJOR EMPLOYERS list is an expanded version of the "TOP 100 EMPLOYERS" and includes additional employers who have a major impact in Allen County. There are approximately 150 employers in the "Major Employer" list. This is available both alphabetically and by NAICS.

Rankings are determined by total number of FTE -- full time equivalents (see methodology).In order to compare "apples to apples", CRI ranks by FTE. We list both the reported full-time employment and the part-time FTE for your information, but the total of these two determines the ranking.

Employment data is for Allen County only.

Retailers and Restaurants are generally excluded from the list. Exceptions include headquarters or a major managerial influence.

Methodology:

If a person works full-time for the employer, this is 1.0 FTE. Some areas, such as schools and universities, may only employ a person for 10 months, but this meets the generally accepted definition of a full-time person and is counted as 1.o FTE. Other employers may consider their employees as full-time if they work 35 hours per week, while others expect 40 hours. Generally, a position of 1,820-2,080 hours per year is considered one FTE.

Suggestions for calculating the number of part-time FTE: if there are many part-time positions, you may prefer to count or estimate all the hours worked in one year, and divide by 2080. For example, if the total number of hours paid in a year to part-time employees equaled 20,000, this is equivalent to 9.6 FTE (20,000/2080).

For a small number of employees, please add their percentage employment. For example, if there were 2 persons working 20 hours per week for the entire year, and one person who worked 10 hours per week for the entire year, this is .5 + .5 + .25=1.25 FTE part-time employees. If one of those persons only worked for 6 months, this can be adjusted, such as .5 + (.5/2) + .25 = 1.0 FTE

For seasonal employees, CRI had traditionally asked that these be converted to FTE and added to full-time employment. For example, 10 persons working full-time the 3 summer months or 3 months during the Christmas Season would be the equivalent of 2.5 FTE (10 x 3/12). But recognizing that seasonal employment can be quite varied among employers, it may be easier to add the total hours worked and divide by 2080 (in this case, that would be (10 persons x 40 hours per week x 13 weeks)divided by 2080, or 5200/2080 = 2.5 FTE.

CRI would be happy to assist in any calculations of FTE.

If CRI cannot obtain an estimate of FTE within the past 5 years, either by Company response or through a reliable news source, CRI does not include that employer in the list.
