Employment in
Grays Harbor County
The
job situation in Grays Harbor is bleak.
A
person is defined as as unemployed if they are
seeking employment and not gainfully employed (receiving
pay).
According
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the unemployment rate
in Grays Harbor County is over 7%. Employment growth, the
rate new nonagricultural jobs are being created is negative,
almost -2%. The state unemployment average of 4.4%, is
consistent with the national average.
Traditionally
the local economy was dependent on the timber industry,
commercial fishing and shipping, and but for decades these
industries have declined. Timber and fishing no longer
represent a sustainable economic future for the region
but the full-service deep-water Port of Grays Harbor and
shipbuilding does.
Hospitality,
casino and tourism jobs are on the rise but most of the
positions represent low paying seasonal positions.
Stafford
Creek State Prison and Westport Shipyards are major employers.
