This page covers what is specific to Mammoth Lakes: local employers, seasonal hiring, and where to get help. For the statewide rules, see the CalSavers requirements and deadlines.
ZIP codes with a Mammoth Lakes mailing address had 487 business locations in 2023, with about 6,673 people on payroll in the March pay period.
CalSavers applies from the first employee, so each of those 487 locations belongs to an employer that, if it is a business that meets the state's other conditions (such as time in business), needs either its own retirement plan or the state program.
The most common types of business in these ZIP codes are accommodation and food services (98 locations), construction (81 locations) and real estate (68 locations). Across Mono County, the largest industry by employment is accommodation and food services (4,315 jobs), and private leisure and hospitality employment ran from 2,936 in October 2024 to 5,242 in April 2024.
111 of the 487 business locations in Mammoth Lakes's ZIP codes are in accommodation and food services or arts, entertainment and recreation, the leisure and hospitality industries where staffing levels tend to change with the season. California counts employees under Cal. Code Regs. tit. 10, §10001(a). The rule reads: “average number of employees during the previous calendar year, as reported to EDD on Form DE 9C for the quarter ending Dec 31 and the preceding three quarters”. If your Mammoth Lakes business's headcount rises and falls during the year, that wording decides whether you meet the threshold, so confirm your status with CalSavers.
