Curious to learn more about the local employment landscape in the Evansville Region? 

Check out some of our key industries and employers below:

Manufacturing is the largest employment sector in the county, with more than 4,000 residents working in manufacturing roles. Major employers include Draper, Inc. (window-shades and projection products), Boar’s Head Provisions Co., Inc. (food manufacturing) and TS Tech Indiana, LLC (automotive parts manufacturing). Roles span production, assembly, welding, machining, maintenance, quality control, and logistics support. Whether you’re hands-on or looking to lead, this sector offers opportunities for skill building and advancement.

Healthcare is another cornerstone of Henry County’s economy — in 2023, over 3,200 people were employed in health care and social assistance. With employers like Henry Community Health (one of the largest employers in the county) and local clinics and senior-care providers, careers in nursing, allied health, care coordination, and administration are regularly in demand.

Retail trade and service industries are also significant, with approximately 2,400 residents employed in retail roles in 2023.
