Employment
The primary industry in Rochester is manufacturing. With company headquarters like Xerox, Kodak, and Bausch and Lomb, just to name a few, employment opportunities exist at all levels. There appears to be a trend where the employer base is moving away from these larger corporations to small and medium-size employers. Over all job growth in Rochester for the past ten years has hovered around .8%.
Rochester also offers excellent employment opportunities in the health care industry. In the southwest quadrant of the city is St. Mary’s Hospital; the northeast is home to Rochester General; and the University of Rochester and its medical center can be found in the southeast. Open positions are posted daily on each hospitals’ website.
